Front Page - Camden Festivals - Celebrating Camden's Heritage and Bounty

Camden folks got a chance to celebrate at two big festivals on September 18. The 6th Annual Heritage Day Festival was held at North Mississippi Regional Park and highlighted our community's heritage with wagon rides, roasting corn, fresh apple cider, pioneer games, tons of kid's games and the Heritage Day Haybale Theatre. The Harvest Festival was held on Lowry and Penn Avenues celebrating our community's bounty with lots of music and entertainment, car show, and the apple pie and biggest veggies contests.
