Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 22, when West Arvada comes together for the return of Candelas Fest 2026—bigger, better, and more exciting than ever.
Hosted by Eng Orthodontics, this free community festival has quickly become one of the area's most anticipated summer traditions, bringing together neighbors, local businesses, and families for an unforgettable afternoon of entertainment, discovery, and community spirit. Admission is free, and everyone, including four-legged family members is welcome.
Guests can enjoy live music on a professional concert stage, local food and vendors, adoptable animals, bounce houses, face painting, balloon artists, craft stations, a kiddie train ride, climbing wall, mechanical bull, axe throwing, a Pokémon station, and much more. With new attractions being added regularly, there will be something for every age and interest.
Upon arrival, be sure to stop by the Welcome Tent to pick up your Candelas Fest Quest Card. This interactive festival experience encourages attendees to explore the event, meet local businesses, and discover community organizations while earning opportunities to win exciting prizes. In addition, vendors throughout the festival will be offering their own raffles and giveaways.
This year's prize lineup is expected to be the biggest yet, with Eng Orthodontics unveiling the festival's grand prize giveaways on August 1. Trust us, you won't want to miss the announcement.
With a large turnout anticipated, guests are encouraged to take advantage of the designated drop-off lane before drivers seek parking along nearby neighborhood streets.
New entertainment, sponsors, vendors, attractions, and prize announcements are being added regularly. Visit www.candelasfest.com and follow @candelasfest on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates.
