In 1994, Jay Grooters and Scott Webermeir suggested that the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club start the Estes Park Autumn Gold Festival to draw visitors to Estes Park during the slow season. It was originally in October, but the weather was too undependable so it was moved to Labor Day weekend. This annual festival of beer, brats and bands has grown to be one of the largest events in Northern Colorado. Learn more about our rotary club…
