Boggsville Days 2025: Three-Day Historic Festival in Las Animas Celebrates Frontier Life with Music, Heritage Events, and Family Fun – October 3–5

Boggsville Days 2025 is ratchetting up to a three day celebration at the Boggsville Historic Site. Festivities kick off on Friday, October 3, with a dance and beer garden featuring the red-hot country western band, CappTon Reid.

History comes to life on Saturday and Sunday, October 4 and 5, as Boggsville celebrates its rich multi-cultural heritage with events for all ages! Experience life at Boggsville in the 1860s: visit the blacksmith, sample some chuckwagon cooking, and chat with a few miners on their way to the gold fields. Or, you can take a guided wagon ride to learn the history of Boggsville and its residents. Tour the original restored Boggs and Prowers houses built in 1866 & 1867 and see the site of Kit Carson's last home.

For the young and young at heart, attend class in an 1860s school room, step into the tipis, or try your hand laundry on a washboard. Kids can learn the symbols and sign language of the plains Indians and trappers, play period games, enjoy piñatas and stick horse and sack races.

Enjoy demonstrations on butter making, cooking tortillas over an open fire, antique munitions firing and multi-cultural dancers. Kit Carson's great grandson will be there talk about his famous ancestor. Don't forget the Trade Room and vendors for souvenirs, books, homemade soap, art and more.

To satisfy your hunger and thirst, on Saturday there is a benefit lunch of pulled pork, cowboy beans, and coleslaw available from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. for $10.00/plate & concessions all day. On Sunday enjoy a burrito and green chili benefit brunch 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. All meals and drinks come with a souvenir cup with unlimited refills.
