Pastels on 5th is an event that is close to my heart. I have been a creator at the event twice and would like to again. Businesses sponsor spaces for artists to create designs in pastel which are later voted on. It connects the art, music, and local community in one beautifully bundled event. It take place the in September, so we just missed it this year. If you are interested in being part of the event, volunteering, or just going you can find more information here.

Participation helps Alternative to Violence maintain and operate our SafeHouse and free services for those in need. If you are interested in this event, you can find more information here.
Trunk or Treat has passed us already. It takes place during the Pumpkin Festival in Downtown Loveland for all the fall celebrations. If you are interested in this event, you can find more information here.
