Conifer Fest

Conifer Fest returns this summer for another day of live music, local flavor, and community connection. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Conifer, the 7th annual Conifer Fest will take place Saturday, July 11, 2026, on the scenic field next to Our Lady of the Pines Church.

Festival gates open at 11 a.m., welcoming guests to spend the day enjoying everything that makes this mountain community special. Attendees can explore a wide variety of vendor booths featuring local artisans, handmade goods, businesses, and community organizations. A diverse lineup of food trucks will also be serving food throughout the day, offering something for every appetite. Guests are asked to leave outside food, alcohol, and coolers at home.

Live music will once again be the centerpiece of the festival, with performances beginning at 1 p.m. and continuing throughout the afternoon. This year’s lineup kicks off with The Midday Sons, a Colorado-based Americana, alt-country, and new-grass jam band known for both original music and covers. Next up is Trouble Bound Band, blending alt-country, rock and roll, blues, and bluegrass into a sound that feels right at home in the mountains. Double Life, a tribute to The Cars, follows with a celebration of one of the most innovative bands of the 70s and 80s, performed by some of Denver’s finest musicians. Closing out the day is Bush League, a Denver-based band performing crowd favorites from 80s classic rock through today’s hits.

Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets, settle in, and enjoy an easygoing festival atmosphere with family and friends.

In addition to food, Conifer Fest will offer a beverage selection that includes beer, wine, margaritas, soda, and water.

Admission is $5, and children 12 and under are admitted free, making Conifer Fest an affordable outing for families and visitors of all ages. Free parking is available on site, and leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome to join in the fun.

Beyond the music and festivities, Conifer Fest serves an important purpose. Event proceeds support programs that make a meaningful difference locally and beyond, including the 285 Back Pack Program, which provides food for children in need, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) camps that help develop young leaders, and Rotary Wildfire Ready, which supports wildfire preparedness and safety in mountain communities.

Whether you come for the music, food, shopping, or simply to spend a summer day with neighbors and friends, Conifer Fest offers a welcoming place to gather and celebrate what makes this community unique. Mark your calendar now and plan to join us on July 11 for a day of fun, connection, and community spirit at Conifer Fest 2026.
