| | 🎨 CRAFT Returns: Boulder’s Most Vibrant Art Festival is Back! | | It’s not every day you get to dance in a brewery parking lot surrounded by 55+ artists, 25+ performers, and a taco truck or three. But this weekend? That’s exactly the vibe. The Community Roots Art Festival (CRAFt) is back at VisionQuest Brewery, Sept 13–14, and it’s bringing two days of local BIPOC art, music, dance, and flavor-packed food from some of Colorado’s most talented creatives of color. | Founded in 2021, CRAFt was built to uplift emerging and established BIPOC creatives by removing economic and social barriers. It’s grown into a full-on celebration of culture, community, and joy — think live poetry, punk, samba, hip-hop, soul food, Nigerian meals, handmade goods, and raffles with prizes from local artists. Entry is free (with some sweet perks for VIP donors), and there’s even a scavenger hunt to keep things playful. | 🗓️ Saturday + Sunday, Sept 13–14 | 📍 VisionQuest Brewery (2510 47th St, Suite A2) | 🎟️ Free entry, or suggested donation for Yeti swag + raffle tickets | 🐾 Pet- and family-friendly (some content may include adult themes) | P.S. VisionQuest will be pouring craft beers, but if that’s not your thing, there’s kombucha, seltzer, and plenty of food vendors offering GF, vegetarian, and vegan options. |
