There’s no time like spring and summer time to hit the hottest festivals in Colorado. From music to beverages and everything in between, Colorado is the quintessential destination for spring and summer destinations. You’ll have such a good time that your next adventure will be to Find Physical Therapists in Denver to help you recover from all the dancing and partying.

Here are some of the best spring and summer festivals in Colorado:

Summerfest on the Rio

A fan favorite, Summerfest on the Rio takes place in Cole Park along the banks of the Rio Grande. There is no admission fee, and there are activities for children and adults alike. Enjoy booths featuring local flavors, beer, live music and fun as you enjoy the stunning scenery around you. The festival takes place in early June and promises fun for the whole family.

The Estes Park Duck Race

This fun festival beats betting on horses any day. Join the crowds as thousands of rubber ducks are dropped into Fall River. Participants can pay $20 for a duck, and are eligible for hundreds of prizes if their yellow companion crosses the finish line early. Past prizes have included trips to Europe, Disney World, and Las Vegas. The best part is that 95% of the money goes to local charities. Even if you don’t “adopt a duck” you can enjoy the 5k race (for people), live music, food, beverages, and fun.

Hot Air Balloon Rodeo

In July, the famous Hot Air Balloon Rodeo takes place. Watch as 30 hot air balloons take to the sky and duke it out for best in show. This is a wondrous sight to behold and a fantastic photo opportunity. There is a kid zone to keep the children busy as you enjoy a beverage from one of the tents and take in the scenery. The festival includes an event called “Art in the Park” which takes place while the balloons are in the air. You can view performances, local artistry, and interactive kids’ events.

Denver Underground Music Showcase

Colorado has plenty of music festivals to throw into the mix, including the Denver Underground Music Showcase. With a focus on local talent, the long-running music festival is renowned for its high-energy performances and diversity in musical offerings. Management and partnerships of the Denver Underground Music Showcase have changed within the last year. This has resulted in a new emphasis for bringing in local food and beverage vendors.

Colorado State Fair

Finally, finish off the summer with a visit to the Colorado State Fair. This fair and the many small festivals running within the 11-day event are a longstanding tradition in the state of Colorado. In fact, this year will be just shy of 150 years of the Colorado State Fair. Traditional fair rides, beer tasting festivals, petting zoos, monster trucks, art performances and displays, and more make this event a must-see for all. The concert lineup features a diverse listening experience, with country artists, indie artists, and even Joan Jett and the Blackhearts!

There’s no shortage of things to see and do in Colorado during the spring and summer months. Get ready to have the season of a lifetime!
