Best Annual Festival! - 2013 & 2012
Denver County Fair!

The 2012 Denver County Fair, the event's sophomore edition, might have experienced a few growing pains, but the modern urban take on a rural tradition is already gearing up for year three, and it promises to be the best yet. Cornerstone activities — including the proliferating blue-ribbon competitions in categories ranging from traditional to hipsterized to just plain silly, Andrew Novick's X-Treme Pancake Breakfast, animal displays and performances, and non-stop events on multiple stages — will be back, fair organizers promise. There will also be a series of daily headlining acts absent from last year's fair, as well as a new History Pavilion that's bound to be a hit. No other event expresses so well the pop culture and spirit of modern Denver — its drag queens and zombie-walkers, steampunks and artists, crafters and chicken-keepers, foodies and fashionistas. Give this annual fest a blue ribbon! - More here!

"We're thrilled once again by Mark's brilliant work! He's captured the spirit of what we're all about! This year's poster celebrates what people can find at the fair this year. From urban homesteading to homemade pies, pickles, home brew and produce! To animals and unicorn rides & our dog agility spectacular and more! We're celebrating all the cool things in Denver!" says Tracy Weil, Marketing Director for the fair.

Posters will go on sale in April online at the Denver County Fair Store! Collect them all!

The annual Mayor's Design Awards celebrate the growing number of Denver’s homeowners, small business owners and developers who have made design excellence a priority in their community.
