Fort Collins (August 13, 2025) - Team Player Productions (TPP), festival organizers who have put on highly touted neighborhood festivals such as the Boulder Creek Festival as well as Denver’s Tennyson Street Fair, Highlands Street Fair, Highlands Oktoberfest, and Tennyson Fall Fest, are bringing autumnal delight to Old Town Square (19 Old Town Square, Fort Collins, CO 80524) in Downtown Fort Collins with the debut of FoCo Fall Fest, a free, outdoor community celebration on October 11-12. 

This two-day vibrant street festival is where crisp fall vibes meet hometown pride. Stroll through Old Town Square where surrounding streets, including portions of Mountain Avenue and Walnut Street that will be closed for pedestrian traffic, will transform into a farmers’ market-style celebration complete with local makers, live music across two stages, family-friendly fall-themed activities, mouthwatering eats, and plenty of craft beer and beverages. 

“It’s an honor to launch a brand new tradition in such a special place,” says Kristen Slater, Event Director of FoCo Fall Fest. “Fort Collins has always had this incredible energy in the fall, and this festival is a way to celebrate it together. For me, this is a full-circle moment—my career started as an intern at Team Player and Taste of Fort Collins was our first event. Bringing this new signature event back to northern Colorado feels very nostalgic.”

Enjoy the following schedule of events at FoCo Fall Fest:

  • Live music across two stages featuring hometown favorites to be announced soon

  • Kids Zone for family fun including fall-themed activities, face painting, inflatables, and games

  • More than 80 local makers selling handcrafted jewelry, spices, arts, candles, skincare, and much more

  • Standouts from Fort Collins’ culinary scene including The Emporium: An American Brasserie, Illegal Pete’s, and CooperSmith’s Old Town Brewpub, food trucks, as well as food and bar pop-ups featuring local craft beer, cocktails, and seltzers that will line Old Town Square

A portion of proceeds from FoCo Fall Fest will benefit the Fort Collins Down Town Business Collective. 

Whether you’re sipping a seasonal brew, browsing artisan booths, dancing to live music, or enjoying pumpkin-themed fun with the kids, FoCo Fall Fest is the ultimate autumn celebration for the Fort Collins community.
