Granby is known for mountain charm, small-town events, and scenic views—but on August 30, 2025, it becomes the vibrant heart of Colorado’s creative scene. Art in the Park returns to Town Park for one full day of color, music, talent, and community connection. This isn’t just a local art fair. It’s a full-on creative celebration where you can meet the makers, hear live music, taste something great, and sip a cold beer while browsing works you won’t find anywhere else.
Whether you’re a casual shopper, an art enthusiast, or just looking for something fun to do on a Saturday in the mountains, Art in the Park delivers a solid reason to spend the day in Granby. It’s one of those events that brings locals and visitors together without feeling crowded or forced. The air is easy. The music keeps flowing. And the park turns into a relaxed open gallery where you can take your time and actually talk to the people who created what you’re seeing.
Event Date and Location
Art in the Park takes place on Saturday, August 30, 2025. It runs all day at Town Park in Granby, Colorado. The park is centrally located and walkable from nearby restaurants, shops, and cafés. That makes it easy to step out, explore a little, and come right back in without missing a beat.
What You’ll Find
This is not your average pop-up market. The featured artists are handpicked from across Grand County and nearby towns. Expect a mix of professional and up-and-coming painters, woodworkers, potters, metal artists, and photographers. Many artists are locals who live and work in the area year-round, offering pieces that reflect mountain life, Colorado scenery, and modern rustic design.
Throughout the day, there will be:
- Live art demos where you can watch pieces come to life
- Interactive booths for kids and families
- Food trucks serving both casual bites and unique eats
- Craft beer and local drink vendors
- Live music from rotating bands and acoustic sets
The vendor section blends practical and playful. You’ll find ceramic mugs that make you want to drink more coffee, handwoven blankets that feel like home, and original artwork that makes you pause. Some pieces are gallery-ready; others are made for everyday use. Either way, they carry the energy of something real—not mass-produced, not generic, and not found in any chain store.
The Music Lineup
Art in the Park isn’t silent. Throughout the day, local musicians perform on a small stage near the beer garden. There’s no ticket required. You can grab a drink, sit on the grass, and listen without needing a front-row spot. The lineup includes bluegrass, folk-rock, instrumental, and a few surprise acts that mix genres. Music runs throughout the event, creating the kind of casual vibe that keeps people lingering longer.
Perfect for All Ages
This event is family-friendly and well-suited for all age groups. There are kid-focused booths and art tables where little ones can paint, draw, or get their faces painted. Parents can relax knowing the space is open, safe, and full of things to explore together. For couples, it’s a solid low-key date idea. For solo visitors, it’s an easy way to spend an afternoon without needing a plan.
Dogs on leashes are welcome too. The park has grassy spots, shady areas, and clear walkways, making it accessible and comfortable throughout the day.
Plan Your Visit
Parking near Town Park is free but limited. Arrive early if you want a spot close to the venue. Otherwise, expect to park a few blocks away and walk in. Public restrooms are available, and most vendors accept credit cards and digital payment apps. Be sure to bring a tote or bag if you plan on shopping—it’s hard to walk away empty-handed.
Weather in late August is typically warm during the day with cooler evenings, so dress in layers and bring a light jacket or hoodie just in case.
