NewWestFest in Fort Collins
Head up to Fort Collins this weekend to help the town celebrate it’s birthday at the NewWestFest, August 20-22. It’ll be a fun weekend with tons of great music! And it’s all FREE! There will be more than 70 different bands playing throughout the weekend starting at 6:00pm on Friday in historic, downtown Fort Collins. The Flobotswill be playing Friday night and an oldie, but goodie Earth, Wind and Fire will be playing on Saturday night. It’s sure to be a great weekend for the whole family! This is the 22nd annual NewWestFest and they will feature a ton of local musicians…one of my favorite local bands is Angie Stevens and The Beautiful Wreck who will be playing on Sunday afternoon. She has an amazing voice and the band is a lot of fun so definitely plan on sticking around on Sunday.
In addition to the 6 music stages, there will be plenty of other activities. This is a community birthday celebration for the city of Fort Collins and there will be more than 300 tents set up offering art and photography booths, jewelry, arts and crafts vendors from around the country and plenty of food including Thai, Greek, BBQ and Indian cuisine. There will be beer and wine tents and, of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without funnel cakes. For those of you with children, there will be plenty of activities for them to participate in at Library Park and the Fort Collins Museum. Check out the website for additional information and for the full music line-up.
Loving life in Denver!
