Free of charge, all are invited to come play, learn and experience why Pickelball is the world-wide phenomenon fastest-growing sport in history; if you can throw underhand a light plastic ball, you can go out and start having fun on Day 1 with nearly no strain on protesting aging body joints.

Folks with questions should contact Norm Smith at ___/___-_____. Folks, if you’ve never played Pickleball, this is a great opportunity to get your first fun and memorable introduction to this great game.

Colorado Artisan Markets

Artisan Markets was founded by Lexi, a handmade jewelry artist known as The Steampunk Butterfly. She has been vending around Colorado for the last 11 years, and started hosting events herself in 2024. She was tired of being overshadowed by resellers and large corporations at other art festivals, so she decided to start her own shows that focus on the artists. Join our small business movement today, and get your handmade products in front of thousands of shoppers! All of our events are selected based on their accessibility, abundance of parking, and are all in affluent neighborhoods.
