Unfortunately, the Lafayette Oatmeal Festival has been permanently retired. Check out some other January events in Colorado.
The Lafayette Oatmeal Festival was an annual Saturday oatmeal breakfast followed by a 5K walk/run race and ninja course held in mid-January in downtown Lafayette.
Guests celebrated a healthy lifestyle in Lafayette with an oatmeal breakfast and a leisurely 5K walk/run. It was a unique festival held on one January morning each winter.
You could purchase tickets in advance at the Lafayette Chamber or at the event. This annual event was fun for all ages. Guests could come only to have breakfast or participate in the 5K.
