Townie Fest

September 1 @ 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

We’re throwing a full-blown block party and family friendly festival that brings the heat with open fire cooking, craft beer, live music, and all things Colorado-made…. for a great cause!

This year, our community beneficiary is Boulder Watershed Collective, specifically for a project that helps protect our most vulnerable communities from wildfire. Help us raise $10,000 for Boulder County Fire Mitigation and Lafayette Fire Department.

In a push for “The First Five Feet”, we’re raising funds to complete a 3 phase project that focuses on reducing fire risk in the five feet directly surrounding homes. This includes clearing debris, adding metal skirting around the base of mobile homes to protect against embers, and creating safe storage for firewood that many residents currently use to heat their homes. Live Local Music by Juicebox and Los Mocochetes.

Open Fire Cooking: Our chefs will be stoking the flames and serving up delicious eats hot off the fire. Pair it with an award winnin’ brew and you’re in backyard heaven.

Games and Activities for Kids & Adults
Just $5 at the door for a day of music, games, and good times. (Kids under 12 are free) Interested in reserving a VIP cabana? Roll in with your crew—reserve a private cabana for 8–10 people. Limited availability, so grab yours early!

We’ll reinforce knees and elbows, add beauty and patches to collars and hems, and enjoy the slow and meditative stitching that is Sashiko.
