Elevation Celebration is a free community street faire the last weekend in July in Conifer, Colorado. It is Conifer’s signature summer festival celebrating mountain lifestyle. The event boasts entertainment for the entire family over two full days with live music, games for all ages, vendors, beer gardens and so much more! This year's festival is Saturday, July 27th and Sunday, July 28th.
The weekend kicks off with the Annual Elevation Run/Walk sponsored by Altitude Financial Partners, a 10K, 5K, and 2 mile Fun Run, along with a virtual run. This course celebrates the Conifer Trails that take you around the scenic Aspen Park neighborhoods of Conifer (average Elevation 8200 feet!) on both paved and dirt roads and trail running for the 10K'ers. The run is coordinated by and benefits the Conifer Lobos Unified Boosters (CLUB) and Conifer Area Council (CAC) Trail team. Registration is open at https://elevation.clubchs.org/.
