Celebrating 31 years
The Durango Autumn Arts Festival takes place amidst the vibrant fall colors on quaint East Second Avenue in historic downtown Durango, Colorado.

Presented as a fundraiser for the Durango Arts Center — the region’s premier non-profit visual and performing arts organization — the festival is ranked among the top in the country, attracting an estimated 8,000 visitors annually. Artists and craftspeople consistently praise the event for its excellent organization, warm hospitality, and steady, friendly crowds.
We are excited to present the first annual Young Artists – Huge Impact space at the 2025 Durango Autumn Arts Festival, featuring 10 young artist booths offering goods for sale to the public.
Registration deadline: August 4, 2025.
