Kick off a summer to remember with Territory Days in OCC

The Bulletin is partnering with Old Colorado City Associates to bring our readers and visitors everything you need to know about Territory Days, the award-winning event that’s become a multi-generational tradition on Memorial Day weekend.

A four-page pullout will appear in our May 24 issue; it will include a map of activity and vendor locations, plus a handy-dandy schedule of events.

Colorado’s largest street fair will welcome people of all ages. Spend a few hours browsing the art and handicrafts from hundreds of vendors, enjoying great food in a variety of cuisines, perusing educational displays, whooping it up on rides and listening to some of the 25 bands scheduled to perform on three stages.

One of the highlights: a Memorial Day tribute in Bancroft Park.

The action takes place along West Colorado Avenue, between 23rd and 27th streets. Hours are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, May 25, and Sunday, May 26, and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday, May 27.

Do yourself — and OCC residents — a favor and carpool with friends from a central location. Or catch a free shuttle from the Colorado Springs City Administration Building garage at 130 S. Nevada Ave. Parking is $1 per hour in the garage.

Parking and shuttles will not be available at Coronado High School this year. And please leave pets at home.

 

Complimentary handicap parking locations: 

● Lot on Pikes Peak Avenue, just east of 24th Street (available after noon Saturday); and

● Pikes Peak National Bank drive-through at 24th Street, north of Cucharras Street.
