CO Summer Festival Listing

When the temperatures start to climb and the snow (mostly) melts from Colorado’s majestic mountains, our great state comes alive with color: vibrant blue skies dotted with fluffy white clouds, verdant green meadows, wildflowers in nearly every hue imaginable, rocky red cliffs, sapphire-blue alpine lakes and dark green pines.

Many of the Centennial State’s best summer festivals take advantage of this vivid natural palette, using it as the backdrop for live music, wine, yoga, craft beer, food, dance, theater, visual art, outdoor recreation and other joyous activities that bring people together. Below we share a list of the can’t-miss summer festivals that promise fun times around the state.
