Join us in September in beautiful, historic downtown Durango, Colorado to celebrate the 29th annual Durango Autumn Arts Festival. The Festival is a regional destination event, held on quaint, tree-lined Second Avenue surrounded by boutique hotels, shops, and locally-owned restaurants, with Main Avenue just one block down, a known gathering place for shoppers and the thousands of visitors that fill the town each fall.
Organized as a benefit event by and for the Durango Arts Center, the region's premiere non-profit arts organization serving Durango and the Four Corners, the festival is a well-loved and attended community event attracting a large audience throughout the weekend. In 2022, the Festival welcomed an estimated 7,000 visitors. Artists and craftspeople report the show is well organized and offers great hospitality and friendly, steady crowds.
