Manassa Pioneer Days
Once of Colorado’s oldest festivals, Manassa Pioneer Days traces its history back to the founding of the community of Manassa in 1879. On opening day is an auction and crowing of Miss Pioneer. On the weekend is a 5k run (in its 45th year), a parade known for its amazing floats, a carnival and live entertainment downtown, as well as the infamous hamburger stand. At the rodeo grounds, two days of rodeo events and the incredibly popular demolition derby are held. And on Saturday night, as the festivities die down, fireworks and the lighting of the “M” on the mountain remind us why we love our heritage and this amazing small Colorado town.
