Autumn Gold participants will assemble their cars, and then the races begin! The Estes Valley Community Center is partnering with Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary to furnish a whole set of games. They will provide a fun snag golf activity, youth ball games with prizes and candy, and hula hoops. What better way to celebrate Autumn than to be in beautiful Bond Park with the family?
Great food, drink and close to downtown shops, plus Rocky Mountain National Park activities. You can come and go from the festival and enjoy what the Town of Estes Park has to offer. Attendees can re-enter at any time. Don’t forget to bring your picture I.D. if you plan on purchasing beer, wine or spirits. Parking is available with a variety of free and paid parking options around Town.
