Fall Fest in Dillon

Aug. 30, 31, & Sept 1st

ColoradoArtShows.com presents this sibling to the longest running & most established art festival on the eastern side of Summit County- The 7th Annual Fall Fest in Dillon! Now 3 days - Friday thru Sunday - no show on Monday/ Labor Day!

The beautiful Dillon, CO draws from Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, and Keystone! The show is protected from the elements by the charming downtown square of the town. This fact alone has allowed the affluent patrons of Summit County to enjoy a great Labor Day festival. Summit County Colorado has an average home value of $907,853! The area attracts both home-owners and visitors from Colorado and around the world.

This is a fine art and fine craft show that will run in the core downtown area of historic Dillon, CO. We will be accepting a maximum of 80 artists for this show. The dates for the show have been chosen carefully as Labor day weekend is one of the town’s busiest. We are excited to build on our continuing success and we are again committing all of our resources to making this a success.

Three benefits you should consider:

1. Built in audience: The Dillon Farmer's Market (the most successful and massively attended market in Summit County) will run on the Friday before the show. It is two blocks from the art festival. We will be advertising at the market to bring patrons to the show.

2. No show on Labor Day Monday: Labor Day Monday has historically been a dog for art shows. Let's get home!

3. Price: At only $499/booth space, the show is significantly more affordable compared to other events that weekend. At ColoradoArtShows.com, we care about you the artists and want to provide you with value along with your success.

"Is there any money back guarantee if for some reason the shows are shut down due to COVID 19?"
In 2022, ColoradoArtShows.com was still able to hold art festivals even amidst the COVID situation. Safety protocols and distanced booths resulted in fantastic shows: the health officials approved our approach, patrons attended and were buying, and artists made money! We learned a lot last year.

Once you have been accepted to our shows, we have a no refund policy. However, if you stick with us to the point that a government agency shuts us down for any reason, we will give you your money back for that show.
"Is there any money back guarantee if for some reason the shows are shut down due to weather?"
In Colorado, we deal with all manner of weather. We proceed with our events regardless. If however there is weather that is threatening to artists or patrons, we may call off a day of a show or we may call a show over early. This does not constitute a refund of any funds to artists.
Do you have a version of the application you could email me?
