Last month, we asked some locals and visitors what brought them to Mountain Fair and what they love about Carbondale. Their answer? The people of course! We loved seeing everyone who came to visit this year. Thanks to Mama Kat and Marlene Neidert for wandering the fair with a piece of Mt. Sopris + microphone in hand.

Did you know that Carbondale is one of Colorado’s Creative Districts? Take a ride through town and it’s easy to see why.

Creativity spills onto sidewalks, street corners, and public spaces with rotating sculptures, colorful murals, and community landmarks like the ARTWay. Art is everywhere you look.

It’s just one more thing that makes Carbondale, Carbondale.
