Cascade Days in Concrete, August 16 & 17, 2024!

The Concrete Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce this year’s event will once again be held on the third weekend in August. Community members, business owners, and town leaders reacted to save the tradition of Cascade Days. The tradition of Cascade Days goes all the way back to the 1930s. Cascade Days grew from a campaign to build a highway connecting Skagit County to Okanogan County. Meetings to promote the road were attended by prominent state and national figures, and one of the meetings turned into a celebration with a parade. Cascade Days was born.

When it came time to select a logo for Cascade Days, we went back to the drawing board. Over the years, there have been a number of different images used. We wanted one that captured the true spirit of the celebration: the fact that there’s a lot of history in these hills, and an equal amount of vibrant optimism growing here.

We wanted the logo to capture the essence of logging and cement plant days, but just as important as those largely bygone industries, we wanted to feature the mountains with the HIGHWAY going through them.

So we turned to our most famous local artist, Don Smith. We asked him to look at the elements of past logos and create an image that was fresh and bright. That’s what the celebration will be!

Shown here is the original watercolor Don created. You’ll see this image on some of our materials (maybe even coffee mugs!), along with the familiar round (button-shaped) logo.

Thanks, Don, for blending the old with the new and giving us an image that sets the tone for Cascade Days.
