Due to the increase in COVID cases in our area, the Camofest Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone the event until a later date yet to be determined. While we are still as dedicated as ever to supporting our historic downtown, the safety of our volunteers, vendors and attendees come first. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. We are looking forward to hosting you in the future, once the global health pandemic passes. Thank you for understanding during these difficult times. We’d like to thank each and every one of you for supporting Camofest through it all.
