March Colorado Events

March is a time to celebrate the remaining days of winter and welcome spring with these upcoming festivals. The days are finally getting warmer again. Popular events include the Frozen Dead Guy Days and the Monte Vista Crane Festival.

Other hit festivals include the Boulder International Film Fest, Leadville Ski Joring, and, of course, anything St. Patrick’s Day-related. Both Colorado Springs and Denver host awesome St. Patty’s parades, so head to one of those downtowns if given the chance. Denver Restaurant Week is a great way to score some delicious eats around the Metro Area for less than normal.

Here’s a look at the top annual March events in Colorado, in chronological order:
