With several ways to join in on the action, there is sure to be something for everyone!

Get your taste buds involved with our Annual Mac and Cheese Cook-Off competition, sample some amazing craft beer from local and regional breweries (21 and up), roam around visiting the arts and craft booths, enjoy live music, experience the amazing touch-a-truck, indulge in some delicious food, and have a memorable Saturday full of fun!

Arbor Day will also include the Colorado State University Extension Demonstration Day event, custom-built nature playground, silent auction for urban wood pieces milled from recently lost park trees, notable tree tour, tree identification workshop, and more.
