The Friends of Barr Lake will be holding their annual Harvest Festival in Brighton this October, celebrating the traditional harvest season.
The festival will feature live music from local bands, headlined by Kate Mintle, and family-friendly activities like face painting, crafts, and carnival games. The festival will also include a local marketplace, with food trucks and artisan vendors providing a variety of goods. Vendors at festivals like this often use tools like banner printing and other eye-catching decorations to help stand out from the crowd. Visitors are encouraged to share their festival moments on social media. Entry to the event is free with a Colorado State Park Pass or Keep Colorado Wild Pass.
Those looking to enjoy traditional agricultural pastimes can sign up for wagon rides or visit the pumpkin patch. The Raptor Education Foundation Program and Sonflower Ranch will be providing demonstrations with live animals, with the latter bringing goats. Local Indigenous cultures will be represented in a presentation from Corporation 5280. Marketing material also emphasizes the experience of fall weather:
“Bring your friends and family for a day of autumnal fun and festivities. Whether you’re here for the pumpkins, the music, or simply to enjoy the crisp fall air, there’s something for everyone at the Harvest Festival.”
The 2024 Barr Lake Harvest Festival will take place on the morning of October 5 at Barr Lake State Park in Brighton.
