The 12th Annual Elevation Celebration, brought to you by Lifetime Home Remodeling, returns to Conifer July 26 and 27. The event runs from 10 am to 8 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 6:30 pm on Sunday, and brings together locals and visitors from across the region to celebrate the unique culture and natural beauty of the Conifer area.
Kicking off the weekend is the annual Elevation Run/Walk on Saturday morning, July 26. This event serves as a fundraiser for the Conifer Lobos Unified Boosters and the Conifer Area Council Trails Team, and features a 10K, USATF-certified 5K, and a 2-mile Family Fun Run.
Festivalgoers can look forward to live performances from 20 bands across two stages, showcasing a diverse lineup that spans bluegrass, blues, ’80s/’90s jams, Latin rock, ska, reggae, and alternative music. The event also includes a craft fair featuring unique and handmade items from local artists; a safety fair; a wide range of food and drink options; a family zone, sports zone, 9-hole disc golf course, bounce house, and Nerf & Turf; and fun activities for children such as face painting and games.
With more than 75 vendors and organizations participating, Elevation Celebration offers local businesses and nonprofits a chance to connect with the community, network, and promote their work through sponsorship and vendor opportunities.
Elevation Celebration takes place on Sutton Road in the heart of Aspen Park between the Post Office and the Aspen Park Community Center. Public parking is available at West Jefferson Elementary School, Conifer Community Church, and the Aspen Park RTD lot.
