For seventy years, the Beulah Valley Arts and Crafts Festival has been a beloved Southern Colorado tradition, a celebration of creativity, community, and the spirit of the Beulah Valley. On August 1–2, 2026, the festival will once again fill the grounds of the Beulah School of Natural Sciences with artisans, families, music, food, and the unmistakable energy that has defined this event for 70 years.
What began in the mid-1950s as a small gathering organized by artist Bill Sharp and fellow creatives has grown into a regional showcase of fine art, pottery, photography, woodcarvings, sculptures, homemade soaps, candles and cottage foods, local authors, musicians and more. The festival has remained a cornerstone of cultural life in our valley and a testament to the power of volunteerism and community pride.
Today, the festival continues to thrive as a 100% volunteer-organized event, held in partnership with the Beulah Educational Support Team (BEST). Proceeds directly support students and staff at the Beulah School of Natural Sciences and also support community art education and workshops provided throughout the year by the Beulah Valley Arts Council.
This year’s festival promises to be one of our most exciting yet. In addition to the artisan market and live entertainment, visitors will enjoy food trucks and a beer garden, a community-wide scavenger hunt, the Beulah Cool Mountain Run Classic Car Show, and the ever-popular street dance featuring headliner, Martini Shot. Beulah invites you to join us for this very special event!
