History
Every year the rodeo fair is hosted with a number of events and for good reason too. These celebrations are now a time-honored tradition of this part of the world.

This is a well known weekly event showcasing free music for all along with numerous other fun programs for the younger participants’ and audiences. This way the event manages to entertain and keep the entire family engaged and entertained. All Show Down Town Concerts and programs are hosted on a weekly basis i.e. on every Thursday at the same venue. The program begins at 6:30pm every week and the program is scheduled to happen throughout the months of July and August.
The Country Music Project event includes a wide array of country music both old and contemporary thus covering artists of everyone’s liking. The most spectacular part of the program is the live tribute to country music to be paid by the band. They will be playing tunes from across decades thus taking you on virtual journey through the evolution of country music.
Another family based activity held in conjunction with all this is The Denver Butterfly Pavilion which allows parents and kids explore the world of insects, from the creepy crawlies to the magnificently beautiful, on an up and close level.
To make the evenings even more memorable each year the show down sees the successful hosting of picnics for all in community style.
