99th Annual Fruita Fall Fest

The Fruita Fall Festival is a 3-day event with over 150 vendors selling their arts, crafts and foods to a crowd of 50,000-plus. The weekend is filled with events including a youth pet and talent show, a parade, the famous bed race, and a baking and canning contest. And for the second year, a 5K race benefiting the Fruita Middle School and the Chamber. Planned by the Fruita Area Chamber of Commerce as its major fundraiser, the fest is a free community event.

Artists of all ages are encouraged to enter the official Fruita Fall Festival poster contest. Artwork must be original and reflect the theme, "Fruita of Tomorrow." The artwork will be voted on by the Fall Festival Committee, and the winning artist will have his or her work displayed on the official Fruita Fall Festival poster. Deadline is May 31, 2013.

The 99th Alpine Bank Fruita Fall Festival is once again pleased to present a free weekend of live music on two stages. The Circle Park Stage will feature regional and national bluegrass bands and the Civic Center Pavilion Stage will feature an eclectic mix of musical styles.

The festival is the winner of the prestigious Best of the West award from the Daily Sentinel in 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2008.

NO PETS, BICYCLES or SKATEBOARDS on venue.
