On the second Saturday of each November, Georgetown, Colorado, comes alive with bighorn sheep and celebration. Georgetown is the proud home of one of the oldest and largest bighorn herds in the entire state and their pride is especially contagious in the fall.
All eyes anticipate viewing these beautiful mountain beasts at the Bighorn Sheep Festival. Join the crowds in Georgetown on TBD 2025 (last event scheduled: Saturday, November 9th, 2024), as visitors and locals alike enjoy wildlife programs, children’s activities, hikes, music, crafts, and more.
The day’s highlight is a stop by the wildlife viewing station where trained volunteers assist in helping visitors spot the herd with binoculars while offering a brief lesson on their history. This down-home event is free to everyone.
