Fall west of Denver, in four parts

Colorado fall flips quickly — September keeps the farmers markets and outdoor music going, and October leans into harvest celebrations, Halloween and Día de los Muertos. This page curates the season's verified events across the nine towns, refreshed as official calendars confirm new dates. The window covered is September through October.

Breweries & food-truck fall schedules

Brewery and food-truck listings live on their own page, but the fall rotations are worth planning around — these recurring schedules are verified in the brewery data:

Coda Brewing Company (Golden) — Rotating food-truck schedule through late September — see the brewery's calendar for the full lineup.
Resolute Brewing Tap & Cellar (Arvada) — Rotating food-truck schedule (Deun Deun Box, El Mal Del Puerco, Salt Fire Chile, Pink Elephant and more).
SomePlace Else Brewery (Arvada) — Bailey's Food Truck every Friday, 2–7 PM.
The Post Brewing Company (Lafayette) — Weekend brunch on the patio, Saturdays & Sundays 10 AM–2 PM.

See every taproom event and rotation on the breweries & food-truck page.

Frequently asked questions

When does fall run on this page?

The curated window is September 1 through October 31 — fall farmers markets, harvest festivals, Halloween and Día de los Muertos events, and standout autumn performances.

Are the autumn Red Rocks concerts family-friendly?

Some are — October dates run the gamut from rock and country headliners to family-geared shows like the Stardew Valley symphony. Each listing's source page says what to expect, and family-flagged concerts are collected on the family-events hub.

Are fall festivals free?

Many are — the Arvada Pow Wow, BARKtember Fest, Romanian Festival and BOOMar all list free admission. Ticketed events are clearly priced on their cards, and the free-events hub keeps the running list of no-cost options.

What happened to the 2026 date in the title?

This is now a permanent fall hub: each year's September and October events appear here as they're verified, so the page keeps its authority instead of restarting a new URL every season.
