The Arts Picnic


Arts Picnic, held the last weekend in July, draws thousands to historic Lincoln Park every year. Festival attendees shop from over 175 artists’ booths selling everything from pottery and paintings, baskets to Bonsai and gourmet food to garden art! Folks can take a break in the beer garden or enjoy delectable delights from the 20 food vendors in the Culinary Area. Colorado performers entertain on two stages throughout the weekend while clowns, magicians and balloon artists rove through the park. The kids’ Hands-on Area keeps the little-ones busy with projects that encourage creativity and excite the imagination. The Arts Picnic is truly a "feast of fun for everyone!"...more

Festival Of Trees


Each year, the Union Colony Civic Center is transformed into a winter wonderland of beautifully decorated trees and wreaths when it plays host to the annual Festival of Trees. While strolling through magnificent yuletide displays, patrons are serenaded by the joyous sounds of Christmas choirs and merry musicians. Activities also include visits from St. Nick and Mrs. Claus, the New Frontier Bank’s Kid’s Craft Corner, door prize drawings, face painters, antique fire-truck rides, gingerbread house decorating demonstrations, horse and carriage rides and a silent auction. Additional festival events include The Silver Bells Social, Snowflakes & Satin Fashion Show and Luncheon and The Teddy Bear Bash. All proceeds benefit the Union Colony Civic Center and the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra. Don't miss the opportunity to surround yourself with the sights and sounds of this wondrous time of year! ...more
