Despite the drizzly conditions, Carnation Block Party 2025 was a hit.
An expanded stage allowed for a better live music experience at Tolt Commons, and lots of vendors showed up to sell their artisan goods at the June 21 event. According to guests, the make-your-own flower crowns and Falling River Meats corn dogs were also popular.
The Carnation Chamber of Commerce also had a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Tolt Triangle Park, which offers a green roof pergola, tractor seats, hitching posts, native plantings and more.
