Colorado’s Hometown Festival

About Parker Days

The Parker Days Festival began in the 1970s as a small community fair – an opportunity to enjoy live music, carnival rides, and a picnic with neighbors. Over the years, the event grew in both size and scope with recent events hosting hundreds of thousands of excited participants. Parker Days takes over most of the Downtown Parker area for a weekend of music, food and beverage, and family fun for the festival and carnival rides from June 9th to June 11th 2023, PLUS an extra day of only carnival rides on Thursday, June 8, 2023.

Whether you’re learning techniques from a culinary demonstration, sipping an adult beverage, discovering some of your favorite festival food, dancing to old-school country music, finding unique shopping vendors, or jamming to a silent disco – you will make many memories at Parker’s biggest event tradition.

Musical stages will no doubt get your feet moving. There will be more than 200 Marketplace artists and vendors offering an exciting variety of goods and services. You will also be able to enjoy food from more than 30 restaurants and food trucks along with beer, wine, and specialty drinks throughout the site.

There are tons of activities for kids and families, including street performers, artisan demonstrations, free kids crafts, games, and more. Carnival attractions on “Carnival Hill” will thrill teenagers and adults with the adjacent kiddie rides area guaranteed to give the little ones many happy memories. Plus, an EXTRA day for carnival rides starting at 4PM on Thursday, June 8th and continues through Sunday, June 11th, 2023. The festival opens on Friday, June 9th, 2023.
