As a reminder, Colorado Mountain W**efest is an outdoor event and will be held rain or shine!🍷🌦️

We are so grateful for this week’s lovely (and much-needed) rain, but it does mean the grass at Riverbend Park will likely be wet on Saturday. Please plan accordingly and wear comfortable, weather-appropriate shoes that you don’t mind getting a little damp. We also recommend checking the forecast before you head out and dressing in warm layers.

Umbrellas are allowed at the festival, so feel free to bring what you need to stay comfortable throughout the day. ☂️
