Bronc Day Festival

Bronc Day, one of the longest running historical events in Colorado, was first held July 1, 1939 as the ‘”Official Opening of the Tourist Season” and honored the Vertical Mile Marathon Racers who trained for the race up Pikes Peak while staying in Green Mountain Fails.

Each year a parade of horses, floats, dignitaries and entertainers greets visitors and residents.

This year’s theme ‘Ute Pass: Past, Present and Future!’ welcomes participants to join in the Parade dressed in costumes of their choice from any era.
