The 42nd Annual Carbondale Mountain Fair

July 26, 27 & 28, 2013

Carbondale is an “arts” town, and is a central hub of arts activity in the Roaring Fork Valley from Aspen to Rifle. In 2012, we were the recipients of the Governor’s Art Award for our commitment to arts and creativity. Our Mountain Fair celebrates art in all forms of expression, and is known for a diverse range of arts and crafts, non-stop entertainment, great food and an amazing spirit. A “Family Area” includes interactive, creative experiences for children, and friendly competitions run the gamut from cake baking to wood splitting. The Fair’s theme this year is “Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it” (quote from Chief Seattle). We are very honored to have a large Native presence at the fair this year. The Utes were inhabitants of the Roaring Fork long before most of our ancestors and we have much to learn from them. Chief of the Northern Utes, Roland McCook will be with us all weekend, along with other Native educators, dancers, artists and drummers. Over 300 volunteers come together to make this one of the most popular and unique fairs in Colorado, and admission is FREE.
