Western Fest

The Highlands Ranch Metro District is proud to present Western Fest at the Highlands Ranch Mansion. This event was formerly called Highlands Ranch Pioneer Days and co-sponsored by Highlands Ranch Community Association. Metro District staff is excited to reimagine this event in 2025, offering a fun hands-on experience for guests to engage in local history at the Highlands Ranch Mansion and Historic Park. Western Fest features live entertainment, including a Native American Dance group, the Legendary Ladies, a local group that portrays historical characters, and a chance to learn some line dancing. Guests can also take a hayride, participate in hands-on historical activities with educational vendors and take a self-guided tour of the Mansion. A coffee truck and a food truck will also be on site. PLEASE NOTE: All parking is off-site in the north parking lot at St. Andrew United Methodist Church, 9203 S. University Blvd. Free shuttle buses will run between the church and the mansion for the duration of the event. Only handicapped-accessible parking will be available at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, no general parking. Vehicles must have a parking placard or license plate in order to access the Mansion parking lot.
