Art enthusiasts will love the 32^nd Annual Breckenridge July Art Festival this July. Stroll through Main Street Station and enjoy over 100 presenting artists. Throughout the first weekend of July, the Street Arts Festival comes to the Breckenridge Arts district featuring chalk art, temporary graffiti installations, and hands-on workshops.

Celebrate Independence Day in Breck with a weekend full of parades, running and bike races, live music and kid’s activities.

The Breckenridge Fun Park, located at the base of Peak 8, offers up a host of summer activities for all ages. Enjoy a day on the hill spent cruising around on Segway tours, taking a guided hike, going downhill mountain biking, playing mini golf, or zipping down the Gold Run Coaster. Or, simply take the free gondola up to the base and enjoy an afternoon cocktail in the sunshine on the deck of the T-Bar Restaurant.

As summer winds down, enjoy the changing colors of the Aspens this fall and spend the long Labor Day weekend in Breckenridge. Shop side walk sales, taste the day away at the Bacon and Bourbon festival and watch the annual Rubber Duck Race to celebrate the end of the season as we head into winter once more.
