The Old Colorado City Merchant Association presents Territory Days 2008 to commemorate Old Colorado City as the first capitol of the Colorado Territory in 1861. Historic Old Colorado City has been celebrating “Territory Days” for 33 years.  The very first event, in August 1975, was called “Rampart Range Sertoma Territory Days Parade and Buffalo Barbeque”.

Territory Days has grown from a small neighborhood craft fair, parade and barbeque into a three-day street festival which now hosts over 180 craft, commercial and food booths. Between 80,000 and 140,000 guests, (depending on the weather), enjoy this event every Memorial weekend.

Join us in Historic Old Colorado City this May 24, 25, 26, 2008

The festival opens each day at 10AM.  Festivites close Saturday and Sunday at 7PM and 6PM on Monday
