Get ready for the Nucla Heritage Festival!

This amazing community event, now in its ninth year, celebrates our rich history and vibrant culture. Join us in Nucla Town Park as we showcase the incredible heritage apples of the Four Corners region, from Norwood to Paradox Valley! It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with neighbors, enjoy delicious local food and drinks (including hard and soft apple cider!), and support local vendors and non-profits.

Kids and adults alike will love the old-time apple press, bluegrass music, and a heritage apple display. This year, we're adding even more excitement with a local artist painting live, a fun kids' art program, and a photographer capturing timeless memories.

From heirloom veggies to a farmer's market, we're celebrating our agricultural past and ensuring our community thrives for years to come! Come celebrate our heritage – it's a harvest of fun for everyone!

San Juan Barrel Fest – A Toast to Local Flavor & Live Music in Ridgway, Colorado

Raise your glass at San Juan Barrel Fest—Ridgway’s signature tasting event and a lively fundraiser for the historic Sherbino Theater! Held annually in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, this unique festival brings together the best of Western Colorado’s craft brewers, barrel-aged specialists, and regional vintners. Each participating brewery or winery offers a one-of-a-kind cask, barrel-aged brew, or specialty wine made just for this event—some with experimental flavors, others rooted in tradition.

Guests (21+ with valid ID) can sample these rare creations while enjoying live music, delicious bites, and Ridgway’s unbeatable small-town charm. Though tastings are limited to adults, all ages are welcome to join in the festivities, enjoy the music, and soak up the fun.
