CRIPPLE CREEK SUMMERFEST 2008
Celebrations have always brought out the best in Cripple Creek, and
Chili Cook Off – June 20-22
If you like it hot, you’ll love our Chili Cook Off. This fiery competition pits some of the country’s best chili connoisseurs against each other in a battle for green chili, red chili and salsa supremacy. Street vendors, live entertainment and a host of other family activities promise to make this the spiciest Colorado summer event of the year.
Donkey Derby Days
June 27th - 29th
 
To the Steak Dinner!
Now in its 77th year, this historic festival tops the list of great Colorado summer things to do. People from all over the world descend on Cripple Creek, drawn by a chance to watch a race featuring the town’s resident donkey herd, descendants of the original donkeys from the town’s Gold Rush days. Enjoy games, live entertainment, heritage competitions and other family activities at Donkey Derby Days, the biggest and most exciting of all Cripple Creek events.
July 4th Celebration – July 4-5
Finally, join us for the last weekend of Cripple Creek SummerFest as we pay tribute to our great nation at a rousing and spirited Independence Day celebration, complete with a choreographed fireworks display on both nights, games, street vendors, competitions, live entertainment and fun for the whole family.
