Grab a Slice for a Cause: The Inaugural Colorado Pizza Festival Hits Longmont This Weekend!
Pizza lovers, mark your calendars! The inaugural Colorado Pizza Festival is taking over downtown Longmont this Saturday, September 5, 2026, for a massive, day-long community block party. From 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the intersection of 4th Ave. and Kimbark St. will be completely closed to cars, transforming into a vibrant hub of local craft food, live music, and family-friendly entertainment.
Whether you're after the perfect New York slice, local craft beer, or live funk music, this inaugural festival brings together the very best of Colorado’s culinary scene for an unbeatable cause.
What to Expect at the Festival
