Local Businesses Join Forces in Beloved Annual Event Celebrating “Shop Local”

JUNE 1, 2026, CAMDEN, SC — Where’s Waldo? In Camden, SC, of course! Celebrating its fourteenth anniversary in July 2026, Find Waldo Local has become a beloved summertime event in communities nationwide. This year, Candlewick Press and the American Booksellers Association are again teaming up with 325 independent bookstores nationwide, including Books on Broad and Coffee, for some hide-and-seek fun designed to encourage residents to patronize their local businesses. There is no charge to participate, and the hunt lasts for the entire month of July.

Families love joining the scavenger hunt to find the iconic children’s book character, with his red-and-white-striped shirt and black glasses, hidden in twenty-five local businesses, including Brother & Sissy, The Boot Dawg, and Palmetto Quilts and Stitches. 

Find Waldo Local is a wonderful way to support the Shop Local movement by increasing foot traffic to a variety of stores. “Find Waldo Local is one of our favorite events of the year because it brings families, friends, and neighbors into businesses they may not have visited before,” said Laurie Funderburk, co-owner of Books on Broad and Coffee. “It turns exploring downtown Camden into an adventure while encouraging people to discover and support the locally owned shops that help make our community unique.

To join in the fun, people can simply pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Camden, SC!” stamp card at any of the participating stores. With each miniature Waldo they spot, searchers get their card stamped or signed by the participating shop. Eagle-eyed hunters can also look for Wizard Whitebeard hidden in Books on Broad and Coffee! Collecting store stamps or signatures at twenty or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand-prize drawing for Waldo books and prizes from participating businesses. All participants are welcome to attend the celebration party at Books on Broad and Coffee on Saturday, August 1 at 12 Noon.

Martin Handford’s collections of crowd scenes took the world by storm in the late 1980s, and since then the books have held a cherished place on bookstore shelves, in family libraries, and in classrooms around the world. More than 80 million Waldo books have been sold worldwide, and they’ve been translated into over thirty languages.
