For longtime Parker area residents, there is a sweet nostalgia associated with the smell of cooking food, the screams of excited children and the swirl of amusement ride lights against a starry background. The sights and sounds of the Parker Country Festival signal the beginning of another Colorado summer. Between 80,000- 90,000 people fill the streets of downtown Parker to celebrate the annual event. The Parker Country Festival, known to some as Parker Days, features great food, a bustling marketplace, live entertainment, a parade through the downtown corridor and carnival rides.

The 30th annual Parker Country Festival will be June 8-10; specific times were not available. Individual ride tickets are $1 each. An advanced one-day unlimited ride pass costs $20; the passes cost $25 thereafter.
