July Farmer’s Markets

Farm fresh produce and summer go hand in hand. Most counties in Colorado offer at least one, if not multiple farmers markets throughout the summer. While Saturday is the most common day, there are actually farmer’s markets running Tuesday through Saturday up and down the front range. You can find a complete listing of Colorado Farmer’s Markets here. Many Farmer’s Markets offer more than for your kids to try than fruits and veggies including music, face painting, baked goods, and more!

When heading to the Farmer’s Market in July, expect to find a lot of fresh, vegetables including tomatoes, green beans, and beats. As far as seasonal fruits are concerned, farm fresh cherries, strawberries and blueberries should be available. The main star of Summer in our house are fresh peaches. Starting in July, you will find Colorado peaches at farmer’s markets, road side stands, and grocery stores. Fresh peaches are one of my favorite summer traditions- don’t miss out on it. If you find them freshly picked at the farmer’s market, buy at least a dozen, if not a case and let your family enjoy these sweet summer treats.

Drive-In Movie

July is the perfect month to head to the drive-in movie theater. Colorado is fortunate enough to have nine operating drive in movie theaters. They are sprinkled throughout the state, with two in the Denver area and one in Fort Collins. Pack some pillows and blankets and share the nostalgia of a drive-in movie with your kids this summer.

Western Slope Things To Do In July With Kids

The Western Slope offers many family activities during the summer. If have are on the Front Range and have not taken I-70 west of Vail to explore, you don’t know what you are missing! In my unofficial opinion, the Western Slope is basically everything west of Edwards, including Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction and Gunnison. The Western Slope is a beautiful breath of fresh air and open space.
