2014 Palisade CO Lavender Festival...Things to do in Western Colorado. Mark your calendar for July 11th to the 13th. This is the fourth year for this festival. The setting is absolutely beautiful in the small mountain town of Palisade, CO at the foot of Mount Garfield.
I absolutely love this festival. But I have a passion for growing veggies and herbs and using them in my cooking and around the house. The Colorado Lavender Festival celebrates the beautiful and wonderful smelling lavender plant. There are cooking demonstrations, live music, festival food, vendors and tours of Western Slope lavender farms. Here you can find unique gifts and something special to treat yourself.
Here are some pictures from last year's event.
The festival starts off Friday, the 11th, with a tour of different farms that raise lavender. This is an opportunity to learn about the different varieties, how to grow and the uses of this fragrant herb. It grows very well on the Western Slope. Last year the tour sold out...so get your tickets early. The tour will take you from Palisade to the Northfork Area of Delta County. There will also be a stop at Revolution Brewery for a tasting of lavender beer.
Saturday most of the events center around Memorial Park in Palisade. This is a free event, and this is where you can enjoy live music and shop the different festival booths. There are more events and fun planned for the weekend. The Lavender Association of Western Colorado has more information and ticket pricing.
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 REALTOR®, 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.
