Elk Fest Highlights

Elk Fest 2025 will take place September 27 and 28 in Bond Park, right in the heart of downtown Estes Park. The festival is packed with activities for all ages. You can browse vendor booths, taste food from local trucks, and enjoy live music throughout the day. Special events include Native American dancing, wildlife education programs, and the always popular bugling contest where contestants try to mimic the sounds of bull elk during rutting season.

The timing of Elk Fest also coincides with the peak of elk mating season, meaning wild herds are often visible in town and in nearby Rocky Mountain National Park. The festival is not only a celebration of wildlife but also a reminder of Estes Park’s close connection to nature. Just remember to keep a safe distance, especially from the bulls that can be aggressive during this time of year.
