FORT COLLINS — One of Fort Collins’ signature community festivals returns with a new spot on the calendar when Taste of Fort Collins fills Washington Park on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 26–27.
The two-day festival combines live music, food, local businesses, artisan vendors and family activities, with nationally known performers anchoring each evening. The festival moved from its traditional early-summer dates to late September for 2026.
Modest Mouse headlines Saturday, taking the stage at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 26. On Sunday, Lil Jon closes out the weekend with a performance scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Sept. 27.
The festival runs noon to 9 p.m. Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday at Washington Park, 301 Maple St. Single-day admission includes access to the concert as well as food and business vendors, with re-entry permitted during the day. Children under 12 are admitted free.
Weekend passes have already sold out, while single-day passes remain listed by organizers.
Beyond the headliners, Taste of Fort Collins is designed as an all-day community celebration, giving visitors a chance to explore food, entertainment, local businesses and artisan offerings before the evening concerts.
