THIS SATURDAY is one of Downtown Camas’ most beloved annual traditions, bringing together plant lovers, gardeners, artists, and local vendors for a full day of inspiration in the heart of the community! The 27th Annual Camas Plant & Garden Fair is May 9th from 9am–4pm!
Held each spring, this long-running event transforms the streets of downtown into a vibrant outdoor marketplace! Visitors can browse an impressive selection of plants, flowers, shrubs, garden décor, handmade goods, and specialty products from growers and vendors across the region. Whether you’re an experienced gardener looking for something special, a beginner hoping to start your first garden, or simply someone who enjoys being surrounded by beautiful plants and a lively atmosphere, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Beyond shopping, the Camas Plant & Garden Fair is an opportunity to connect with the community, gather fresh ideas for your home and garden, and spend the day exploring Downtown Camas’ charming shops, restaurants, and small businesses. The event offers a welcoming, family-friendly experience that celebrates spring, creativity, and the joy of growing.
It is the perfect way to find unique Mother’s Day gifts, discover new plants, get inspired for the season ahead, and support local businesses all at once. Whether you come with a specific project in mind or simply want to enjoy a beautiful day downtown, the Camas Plant & Garden Fair is a can’t-miss spring tradition!
And don't forget the C-TRAN Park & Ride service! (see flyer below)
The full list of Plant Fair Experts and vendors is available here!
We cannot wait to see you there!
