Central
Colorado around Colorado Springs, is full of fun, family friendly events
year-round. February is all about celebrating
the natural beauty of the region, and our love of life and great food. We
don’t let these last weeks of winter get us down or keep us inside. With the
amazing events we have this month, it is easy to get out and make connections,
with loved ones, new friends and our communities. Listed below are just some of
the exciting things you can experience around here in February.
Enjoy
a special arts event, and watch as spectacular
creations of ice come to life right before your eyes at the 10th
Annual Cripple Creek Ice Festival, being held February 11th- 19th. Ice sculptors will
compete to make their best Safari on Ice
art, this year’s theme for the competition. Festival goers, especially
kids, will have a lot of fun climbing around the huge interactive ice
sculptures. There will also be an ice
maze, ice slide and a variety of carnival games, fun for all ages.
Get
started on your Valentine’s Day
celebration early on February 11th,
with another annual tradition. The 15th
Annual Chocolate/Art Walk in Canon
City is sure to delight any chocolate lover. Stroll along the historical
downtown shops of Canon City, stop in and taste some incredible, scrumptious
chocolate treats. Your ticket to the walk includes admission, a bar of chocolate and a chance to win some prizes,
including Charity Chairs, artfully
decorated chairs which will auctioned off to help raise funds for CASA and the Music Bloom Festival in
Canon City.
Spend
some time in the beauty of the great
outdoors. This region is full of majestic beauty, including the stunning Garden of the Gods. This free admission
park will be celebrating the return of the Bighorn Sheep to the area, with
their Bighorn Sheep
Day,
set for February 11th. There
will be special presentations, free
cookies and hot cider and door prizes as visitors search for bighorn with
high-powered telescopes. This is an incredible family day, for all ages.
Get
in the festive mood as we approach Mardi
Gras, with the ever- popular Mumbo Jumbo
Gumbo Cook Off & Carnivale Parade, coming up February 25th. This is one community event you won’t
want to miss. All day amateur and
professional chefs go head to head to find out who makes the best Gumbo, and festival-goers get to enjoy the
results! After the completion, join the festivities and wackiness of the Manitou Carnivale Parade, the perfect
way to step out for Mardi Gras fun
