3rd Annual Colorado Lavender Festival, Palisade...A Treat for The Senses. Colorado has a lot of festivals...music, harvest, fruit, outdoor activities, ect., but this is the only Lavender Festival in Colorado. It's right here on the beautiful Western Slope in the small town of Palisade.
At the Colorado Lavender Festival you can taste, smell and feel lavender. There are homemade lavender lotions, candles and foods for sale. You can sample the different products at most of the booths. Last year I had lavender gelato and learned to make a lavender salad. I bought some wonderful lotions, and I hope I can get some more of them this year.
This is a three day festival starting on Friday, July 12th, 2013 and running through Sunday. Most of the events are FREE! On Friday the festival kicks off with a motor coach tour of the area's lavender farms. Lunch, wine and hors d'oeuvres are included. There is a charge for this tour.
Saturday local and regional vendors set up in Palisade Park. Here you will find all kinds of neat lavender inspired products and other natural type products. There are also seminars and demonstrations...most of which are free. Last year I sat in on the cooking demonstration.
Live music will be playing throughout Saturday's event at the park. There are food vendors on hand to give you that complete festival feeling. There's nothing like festival food, and here you can even get lavender gelato.
Back by popular demand is the wreath making workshop and educational seminars. These are ticketed events.
On Sunday there is a self guided tour of the local lavender farms. This is an opportunity to move at your own pace and ask growers questions. The picture to the left shows one of the lavender fields in Palisade.
I haven't missed the festival yet. I plan to be at Palisade Park for Saturday's event. This festival gets bigger and better every year. I plan to revisit my favorite things about this festival and I wouldn't want to miss the new additions, either. I hope to see you at the 3rd Annual Colorado Lavender Festival, Palisade...A Treat for The Senses.
I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 22 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a real estate broker, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.
