Annual Celebrations
One of the highlights is the annual Winterfest, typically held in January. This event features hot air balloon ascensions, skijoring competitions, and various winter activities that showcase the adventurous spirit of our community.
As summer approaches, the 4th of July Celebration and Fireworks light up the sky, bringing families and friends together to honor our nation’s independence. The festivities include a parade, live music, and a spectacular fireworks display over the San Juan River.
Community Gatherings
The Park to Park Artisan & Food Market, usually held in early July, transforms our parks into bustling hubs of local art, crafts, and culinary delights. It’s an excellent opportunity to support local artisans and enjoy the flavors of Pagosa Springs.
In September, the Colorfest Hot Air Balloon Rally fills the skies with vibrant colors, accompanied by the Passport to Pagosa Wine & Food Festival and the Bands & Brews Festival. These events celebrate the rich culture and community spirit that define our town.
