ESTES PARK
Each June, families, knitters and animal enthusiasts attend the free Estes Park Fiber Affair and Wool Market to find all kinds of great things and more. This year’s 25th anniversary event, held at the Fairgrounds at Stanley Park, continues to be the largest fiber fest in the West. Attendees can also enjoy a fashion show, tractor rides for kids, silent auction, an expanded vendor barn, animal shows and skill competitions, workshops and seminars among other scheduled events.
The FACE of Fiber in the Rockies presents a unique selection of fiber artwork with their juried show June 12-14 at the Park Village Playhouse, located on the lower level of the National Park Village, 900 Moraine Ave. Browse a variety of fiber art pieces honoring this year’s theme of the 100th anniversary of Rocky Mountain National Park. Jump on the Fiber Affair Trolley to explore the exhibits around the village, including quilting work, basket weaving, yarn artwork and more.
