Our Mission
The Arvada Harvest Festival commemorates the history of the once primarily farming community of Arvada, began in October 1925 to celebrate the completion of the first concrete road (Grandview Ave.) between Arvada and Denver.
Our volunteers are committed to continuing this historical event and creating family-oriented activities to entertain visitors of all ages and make lasting memories to be shared for generations to come. The Festival and Parade stand out from others due to our historical commitment to supporting our community, and old-time festival traditions, emphasizing free and affordable activities for all.
Over the decades, this community tradition has been inspired, created, and overseen by volunteer Arvada citizens, The Arvada Jaycees, and the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. Most recently, this cultural and historic celebration has been produced, organized, and hosted by the Arvada Jaycees, dedicated community volunteers, and the Arvada Junior Chamber Foundation's 501 (c) 3 status.
