We are looking forward to another successful Cherry Days event this year, and we are beginning our plans and preparations. We have always relied on and are grateful for the support of local businesses that desire to be included in our effort to provide this community with a top-notch event. Can we count on you again this year? Or, if you are new to the Valley, can we count on you to join our team of sponsors?

Paonia Cherry Days is one of the longest-running community festivals in Colorado, held each 4th of July since 1947.

Visitors arrive from all across the country, and our towns swell to nearly bursting. We feature a parade honoring this American holiday, our foundation and traditions. Family and class reunions are held each year. We have games, arts & crafts and delicious food. Every year some worthy high school graduates are awarded scholarships. They are our festival royalty, honored and crowned during the festival.

We always have lots of great entertainment and music, and because we have such fine talent in our Valley, we make every effort to include local bands and entertainment.
