The vast San Luis Valley is home to plentiful sunshine, incredible mountain ranges, and a wonderful high-altitude atmosphere for growing potatoes. Every September, Monte Vista hosts its annual late summer potato harvest.
Promoting and celebrating the harvest, visitors head to Chapman Park for family-friendly activities with food, crafts, and music the entire day. Start the morning off with a 5k Spud Run and continue the fun with guided agriculture tours, a mashed potato dunk tank, and more.
