Come take a walk through the streets of Old Colorado city and enjoy great music, food, and entertainment as Territory Days kicks off the official start of summer fun for Colorado Springs. May 28th-May 30th starting at 10 AM the streets of Old Colorado City are filled with the sights, sounds, and delicious smells from over 180 vendors as locals and guests enjoy the free festivities replicating the daily life of the Wild West.
The festival has grown to one of the largest gatherings in the state of Colorado over Memorial Day weekend. Staying within the theme of the Wild West this year there will be the Fast-Draw competition, a Wild West Gunfight, the mechanical bull, and gold panning demonstrations.
For the younger ones the pony rides, petting zoo, kid's zone, and miniature train rides are sure to please. Educational opportunities exist with a visit to the Hawk Quest booth where visitors can learn about this non-profit organization that teaches about the importance of the Hawk, Owls, Falcons, and Eagles in the local ecosystem. Photos with these amazing birds are also available at the Hawk Quest booth.
The event is a rare opportunity to experience the musical talents of several artists including the sweet sounds of Inka Gold sharing the traditional music from the Andes Mountains. For the blues lover the Jake Loggins Band will be performing and for those needing a more traditional country sound the Black Rose Band will be on hand. These are only a few of the many artists performing over the weekend.
Territory Days is the favorite annual event for locals and a rare treat for visitors lucky enough to be in Colorado Springs over the Memorial Day weekend. It's a great way to spend the day outdoors enjoying the sights, sounds, and traditions of the Old West Colorado.
