LEADVILLE BOOM DAYS
|
Leadville is located in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, two miles above sea level.
|
The historic mining town of Leadville is nestled in a high valley among snow-capped mountains. Enjoy the beauty of the mountains, the history of an 1880's mining camp, and the friendly people of Leadville, Colorado on its biggest weekend of the year.
Boom Days is always the first full weekend in August. Festival events span three days of fun, food, and recreational activities for the whole family. The weekend begins with a Friday night mini parade followed by the Motorcycle Rodeo.
Throughout the weekend there are historic contests of individual mining skill, the Annual Gun Show sponsored by the Leadville Rod & Gun Club, the annual softball tournament and the street fair featuring various vendors including artisans, and food only found at such venues.
There is also live entertainment throughout the weekend. Breakfast is served on the courthouse lawn on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Saturday is a fun-filled day starting with the popular Boom Days Parade, and followed by the car show, the children's events and other street activities. |
