Colorado Springs Events

Local vendors and entertainment herald the arrival of spring to Colorado Springs. Territory Days in Old Colorado City takes place in late May.

Colorado Springs' sports facilities play host to athletic events throughout the year, but the major events take place in summer. The Ride for the Brand Championship Ranch Rodeo and the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo at the Norris-Penrose Events Center, both held in early July, attract top rodeo cowboys from around the country. The event kicks off with the Rodeo Parade the day before Rodeo Week begins in downtown Colorado Springs. Sports fans also will enjoy The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb motor sports race in late June on Pikes Peak Highway and the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon at Pikes Peak in August.

Over the Labor Day weekend, watch more than 70 colorful balloons ascend in Memorial Park during the Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off . The Festival of Lights Parade downtown ushers in the holiday season in early December.
