Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center Festival

This year marks a major milestone: the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center is celebrating 30 years of providing public education and generating a continuous stream of revenue for the Garden of the Gods Park. Over the past three decades, we’ve achieved so much together; and now it’s time to celebrate!

Join us on August 10th from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM for our 30th Anniversary Festival honoring the incredible impact we’ve made as a community. The festival will feature our amazing partners, hands-on activity tables, local programming, live animals, and more. It’s a day to reflect on what we’ve accomplished and to thank the people who continue to make it all possible.

We hope this day will serve as a reminder that every visit you make and every dollar you spend supports the preservation of our beloved National Natural Landmark. Thanks to your continued support, we’ve proudly helped generate over $7.5 million in direct contributions back to the park—and we’re just getting started!
