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.
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.
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.
Join us for a great selection of merchandise and gift cards from local merchants, beautiful fiber and fiber-related items donated by our 2021 vendor, sponsors, as well as other handcrafted fiber items. There is something for everyone at the silent auction!
In the shade of 100-year-old trees, the Beer Garden is a great place to stop for a moment, relax, show off your purchases and try a local libation.
Not just for children, Volunteers will be showing kids of all ages how to make yarn ropes, yarn pom-poms, and medicine-bottle beads. Come in and get creative!
