Summerfest is a two-day community fine arts and crafts festival held outdoors in beautiful Evergreen, CO. Now in its 35th year, Summerfest kicks off Arts Alive Evergreen, a 10-day visual and performing arts showcase.

With over 100 artists from all over the country, Summerfest provides fun for all ages. In addition to great art, we have local food, live music, special performances, and a children's activity area.  Macaroni Kid Evergreen, Bailey and Conifer's booth will be located in the children's activity area. Stop by and make a free craft - and the first family that mentions this article gets to take home a prize!
