SpringFest returns to Crown Park

The free, family-friendly event marks the “highly anticipated return of the city’s signature spring celebration to Crown Park and offers a full day of activities, entertainment, and festive fun for all ages,” according to a news release.

“We are super excited for this re-imagined celebration of spring,” Camas Parks and Recreation Director Chris Witkowski said in the news release. “SpringFest honors the traditions our community loves while creating new opportunities for families to spend time together, enjoy local vendors and experience Crown Park in a fresh and festive way.”

SpringFest builds on the city’s traditional community “egg scramble” while introducing an all-day festival atmosphere that encourages families to gather, explore and celebrate together in one of Camas’ most cherished parks, the news release states.

Attendees can enjoy a wide variety of activities, including an “egg scramble” for children ages 2-12; a hat and bonnet contest; photos with the Easter Bunny; spring crafts and hands-on activities hosted by local farms including Good Year Farms, Treasure Farms and Shady Grove Organics; hayrides sponsored by Get To-Gather Farm; food trucks offering a variety of local favorites; live DJ entertainment; and spring-themed games and family-friendly activities.

“SpringFest is designed as an all-day celebration, with activities and entertainment happening from start to finish,” the news release states. Families are encouraged to come early, stay awhile and enjoy everything the festival has to offer.

The event is free and open to the public, and will be held rain or shine.
