What Can I Do This Fall in Colorado?

Yes, it is a time where large gatherings are not encouraged. Bearing this in mind, staying conscious of the present times, here are all your favorite parts of the fall season that you can still enjoy in 2020.

Pueblo Chile & Frijoles Festival

Paying homage to the humble roots of Pueblo, this festival celebrates all things green chile. The gate admission is $5 and gives you access to vendors and two separate downtown farmer’s markets that you can pursue at your leisure.

Estes Park Autumn Gold Festival

Sounds of elk and golden colored aspen trees all around make this event one of a kind in late autumn. For those that enjoy the changing leaves of the season, Estes Park is where you need to check out.

If you didn’t think a festival could be themed around one fruit and have more than enough unique options, you have never been to Applefest. Have a meal and listen to bluegrass music with friends as you sip a cider and munch on an apple-flavored doughnut.

Colon Orchards

With 2 mazes, hayrides, and pumpkin picking, everything you need when looking for the epitome of an autumn outing is here. From the smells of hay and corn in the air to finding yourself the perfect pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch, Colon Orchards has it all.
