Get Involved in the Arvada Community!

An afternoon tea to celebrate longtime residents of the Arvada Community. This event started back in 2004 and has grown into an amazing crowd of energetic and outgoing seniors (90 years young) that attend year after year. Past attendees look forward to this spring event where they mix and mingle while enjoying live performances along with tasty food and elegant desserts.  

There’s not a better way to welcome Spring than at the Kite Festival!  Bring your own kite or buy one here. Plan to spend the day flying kites, shopping local vendors, eating great food and listening to great entertainment. Soaring kites! Colorful kites! Majestic kites! Come join this free, fun, family event. Whether you’re flying or watching kites, get outside with your family and enjoy all of the exciting outdoor activities the festival has to offer!

The Arvada Festivals Commissions (AFC) and its community partners: Arvada-Jefferson Kiwanis, Arvada Sunrise Rotary, and Arvada Vitality Alliance present the 5th annual Arvada on Tap- A Craft Beer and BBQ Fest. This year look forward to a fun outlet for craft beer and BBQ sampling! It features commercial craft breweries, local food and goods vendors, kids activities and an amateur BBQ competition.  

This year, Arvada’s Independence Day Celebration returns to its roots, focusing on the core of the holiday–fireworks! For the past few months, the Festivals Commission, City staff including the Police Department, and City Council have reviewed the 4th of July event in terms of resource allocation, staffing, and volunteers.
