Via Rainbow Cammo:

Today’s the day. One year of Rainbow Cammo exists because of you! You're the incredible people that showed up, showed love, and made space for something a little different.

With that said, this anniversary isn’t about us, it’s about every person who stopped by the booth, shared a post, brought a friend, or believed in what we’re building. Thank you for making this real.

We’re celebrating from 5pm to 8pm with an afterparty planned at Flora Rochester, and stepping into year two with some big moves: our newly relaunched website is officially live, and you can now get Rainbow Cammo delivered straight to you through DoorDash for retail if you ever need a bath & body goodie asap but can't make it in.

We'll have mocktails and light snacks, good music, and good vibes tonight. So please, come celebrate with us. Plus the scent bar is open if you want to come design something special. We can't wait to see you tonight.

And from the bottom of my heart, to all our friends, family (chosen or otherwise,) our artist partners, our vendors, and most importantly to all of you that keep making this possible, thank you.

The perfect film for a "Summer Day."

MARY OLIVER: SAVED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD screens Friday July 24 at 7pm and Saturday, July 25 at 3pm as part of our One Take Documentary series. Presented with community partner Writers & Books .

📝 If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly q***r but intensely private, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world.

🎟 Tickets available online and at the box office!
