Come out for one of the oldest celebrations of Colorado heritage in the state. Dating back over 100 years, Fort Lupton Tomato Festival at Trapper Days is the city’s largest celebration. The Festival is Friday & Saturday, September 11 & 12, 2026. A Street Dance kicks things off on Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Saturday Festival goes from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Other than the Parade, which marches down Denver Ave, all activities are being held at Railroad Park.
There’s a pancake breakfast ($12) from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Fire Station 1.
Then, enjoy a full day of fun starting with a parade at 10 a.m. down Denver Ave., from 10th St. to 4th St., just as it was done 100 years ago.
Starting at 11 a.m., enjoy a full-blown Festival at Railroad Park.
