Elk Festival @ Bond Park, Estes Park
Sep 28 @ 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

WILDLIFE WATCHING
The festival coincides with the famous elk rut, or elk mating season. Wild elk are often easily seen in town and in nearby Rocky Mountain National Park. Remember elk are wild animals. Always keep a safe distance, especially from the males (bulls), which can be aggressive as they defend their females (cows) from other bulls at this time of year. Give them room – use your zoom! Learn the most important rule of safe and respectful wildlife watching.

PARKING
Elk Fest is one of Estes Park’s busiest weekends, so a little advanced planning can go a long way when it comes to getting to and around downtown. The Town offers free and paid parking options, Electric Vehicle charging stations (both Level 2 and Level 3 DFCF fast-charging stations), designated motorcycle and RV parking. Those with valid ADA placards always park for free in any public space. Visit Estes.org/Parking to find the best spot for your trip.

Want to let someone else do the driving? Head straight to the Town’s parking structure (691 N. St. Vrain) and hop on the Town’s free downtown trolley (Red Route). Trolley and special event shuttle service information can be found at Estes.org/Shuttles.
