Festival of the Firs

01/02/2026

All good things must come to an end. Today we are dismantling the maze and Christmastown at Camp Grisdale and would appreciate any help. If you can bring your drill to unscrew trees that’s great too.

If you join us, dress warm, your finger tips freeze pulling lights but at least it’s dry today!

Happy new year to everyone, hope your wishes come true in 2026!

The weather let up slightly for a fun last day at the maze and Christmastown at Camp Grisdale. Thank you to everyone for joining us over the last three weeks for 12 days and nights of holiday cheer! The maze will be open through the rest of December with lights going on at 3 until 10 pm.

Happy Christmas to you and yours! Thanks to all the nonprofits, volunteers and very generous local businesses who brought us another great Christmas Town, WA!

Well.... we have rain today... but don't let that damper your holiday spirits! We'll be downtown Christmastown at Camp Grisdale for another series of fun events in the heated tent from 5-7 pm.

We've got the Slakey family hosting rock painting (maybe make a new best friend); fish printing on bags or t-shirts with Rachel, Xinh's grilled oysters from the Fjord Oyster Bank and Paul Barber playing some live tunes!!! Oh, and we'll be mixing in a little "snow" with that rain.

Last weekend! Dress warm and join us at the Christmas Town, WA tree maze.

Last weekend local voices brought to life “Flight Of The Blue Ox” written by KMAS afternoon host Rachel Hansen. Just one more great reason why small-town celebrations and local radio still matter.
