Many of Northern Colorado’s large-scale outdoor events cancelled in 2020 will return this summer but with some limitations and different timetables.
The vaccine rollout with the hope of full vaccination in May, alongside social distancing that is easier to conduct outdoors, has brought about new enthusiasm to generate tourism and attract tourists and locals alike to festivals, concerts, symphonies and other indoor and outdoor activities.
“Getting people out of the house is an economic driver,” said Cindy Mackin, visitor services manager for the city of Loveland. “For Visit Loveland, our focus is to promote events and attractions in Northern Colorado to get people to shop, eat and play in the community. … We need those events to start again because they are such a large economic driver. There is pent-up demand for it.”
