A number of festivals, fairs, and seasonal events take place each year around Colorado. If you're looking to take a staycation this year, here's a good place to start! Find one that interests you, then click on the name of the event to learn more.
We strongly recommend you review the refund/cancellation policies of each event prior to purchasing tickets or reserving lodging.
Keep an eye on this page as I'll be adding more through out the year as I find more festivals to add.
On my quest to find various new and exciting festivals I run across some wonderful websites, one such site is Colorado Festival Guide. This site is amazing and features other states as well. Most of my information comes from various sites like individual festival sites (The Renaissance Fest for example) community calendars, and word of mouth.
If you have a festival or know of one I should add to this list just let me know!
