Mountain Rivers Jubilee is an event to mark the one year anniversary of the flood that caused devastation in many communities: Estes Park, Glen Haven, Lyons, Drake, Jamestown, and more. The free Jubilee, Sept. 12 from 5-10 p.m., is open to everyone at the Estes Park Events Center at the Fairgrounds.

Volunteers came from all over the country to Estes Park, Glen Haven, Lyons, and other communities to remove debris, rebuild roads and bridges, and to help residents in every which way they could. This is a time to reflect and recognize the many volunteers who helped with recovery efforts.

Organizers are asking attendees to bring photos to post on the community healing wall.

Several musicians, including the John Mills Orchestra, Brad Fitch and Brian Brooks & the Incorrigibles are donating their time and talents for this event:
