History
Territory Days was created in 1976, coinciding with Colorado’s Centennial and America’s Bicentennial celebrations, to commemorate Old Colorado City being the first territorial capital of the region. It began as a small neighborhood craft fair and has grown into a three-day street festival, which today hosts 200 food, craft, and commercial vendors and has approximately 140,000 attendees from across the country.
