10 years ago, the Salida Fiber Festival was “hatched” after a group of friends attended the Taos Wool Festival together. We thought “why can’t we have a fiber festival of our own?”; after all, Salida and the surrounding area are home to numerous Alpaca, Llama, Sheep, and Paco-Vicunas, and fiber enthusiasts are abundant.

Details

The Salida Fiber Festival, started in 2011 and conducted entirely by volunteers, has become one of the premier events in Central Colorado and one of the most diverse and well-attended fiber festivals in the West. The Salida Fiber Festival is held the first weekend after Labor Day.

Vendors

Featuring vendors focused on all aspects of textiles, including fiber-related activities and demonstrations, a make-and-take activity tent, a silent auction tent featuring a variety of goods donated by vendors and Salida businesses, and a tree-shaded beer garden offering local beer, wine, and distilled drinks.

Demos & Events

Every year the activity tent hosts demos, youth activities, and a variety of festival-related off-site surprises such as the annual Fiber Arts Exhibition, the annual Fiber Art Film, and many galleries and businesses host fiber-inspired events. Check-in at the info booth for details.
