Fall Fest in Dillon 2026 (9th annual)

ColoradoArtShows.com presents this sibling to the longest running & most established art festival on the eastern side of Summit County- The annual Fall Fest in Dillon! Now 2 days - BUT no show on Monday/ Labor Day! Yay!

Dillon attracts visitors from Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Keystone, and beyond, making it an excellent venue to engage a diverse and affluent audience. Summit County, Colorado, boasts an average home value of $907,853, underscoring the region’s economic affluence and the purchasing power of its residents.

Event Overview

This juried fine art and fine craft show will take place during Labor Day weekend in the heart of Dillon’s downtown area. We will be accepting up to 100 artists for this event, ensuring a curated and high-quality selection.

Three Key Benefits for Artists

1. Built-in Audience: The Dillon Farmer's Market, Summit County’s most successful and heavily attended market, will take place the Friday before the show.

2. No Show on Labor Day Monday: Historically, Labor Day Monday tends to underperform for art festivals. By concluding the show on Sunday, artists can avoid a slow final day and ensure they can return home earlier with greater sales success.

3. Affordable Booth Pricing: At just $499 per booth, the Show offers exceptional value compared to other events during Labor Day weekend. At ColoradoArtShows.com, we are committed to supporting artists by providing an affordable, high-quality platform for success.
