The Arvada Festivals Commission was established by the Arvada City Council in 2000 with a membership of twenty community volunteers and produces eight festivals each year. Participants fly kites, eat some great BBQ and drink different ales, pales, and more, learn about Arvada’s scenic trails and wildlife, sample Colorado’s wines for a good cause, and drink tea with our wise elders. These events sow the seeds of fun and reap the bounty of exuberant participation with all who join in the celebrations!
