On average, more than 500,000 people attend A Taste of Colorado each year, with plenty of fun activities, concerts, food, and shopping to partake in during the three-day festival.
A Taste of Colorado was canceled in 2020 and later transformed into a downtown-wide format in 2021. Then, A Taste of Colorado returned to Civic Center in 2022 for its 39th iteration.
The entertainment lineup was a big draw of the free festival in past years. Past performers included Sugar Ray, Dwight Yoakam, KC and the Sunshine Band, Smash Mouth, Kool & the Gang, Scott Stapp, Grand Funk Railroad, and LeAnn Rimes.
