The 2022 SoCo Libation Fest is an event featuring beer, cider, spirits and wine. The event will be held at the new Pathfinder Park Event Center, 6655 HWY 115, on August 20th from 12:00pm to 8:00pm.
The event is co-hosted by Florence Brewing Company, C Squared Ciders and our featured non-profit, The Royal Gorge Rio. This is an indoor and outdoor family event and admission is free. Guests who choose to enjoy libations will need the reusable branded festival cup which will be yours for a suggested donation of $5 to Royal Gorge Rio. The libations will be available for both on-site and off-site consumption, and it’s a great way to have drinks made by some of your favorite Colorado producers and discover some new favorites too! The day will feature libation vendors, food trucks, live entertainment throughout the day, shopping from market vendors and activities for all to enjoy. The Free Sober Trolly will be available to shuttle festival-goers to and from Canon City, Florence and Penrose (check website for Trolly schedule and locations). Camping will be available on site for those who want to stay and play!
