Hosted by Colorado Veterans Project

Join Colorado Veterans Project for a powerful celebration of Colorado Day and the beginning of our 150th year as a state! This year, we're kicking things off with the first-ever FREEDOM FESTIVAL—a one-time, summer event filled with energy, purpose, and patriotism.

Celebrate Freedom. Celebrate Colorado. Support Veterans.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 2, 2025, and take part in the Freedom Festival and Run/Walk/Ruck starting at 7am —a unique opportunity to show your pride in our country and your support for Colorado Veterans. If you've found this page you are choosing NOT to run! You can still take part in the fun and help raise critical funds for those who’ve served. Here you will gain access to the MUSIC and Beer Garden area where there will be great celebration!

Listen to 6MDB (6 Million Dollar Band) who are noted as being the ULITMATE 80's Experience and Colorado's premier 80's dance band. Music starts at 10am
Access to the music area and the beer garden - Last Call 1pm
Lawn area for dancing and relaxing to the sweet 80's sounds with some access to lawn games if you choose to join in on the cornhole fun!
