The Fort Lupton Heritage Fair brings the past alive, and the 19th Annual Heritage Fair will be bigger and better than ever. This exciting event will take place this year on May 3, 2025 from 10AM till 4PM.
The event is set up as a historical timeline with re-enactor camps spanning the Vikings up through the 1800s. Each group is staffed with individuals that are most enthusiastic about their own special time and place and they’ve gone to great lengths to o ensure that their persona, clothing, gear and equipment are as accurate as possible.

What was it like to live at different times and places in the past. What kind of foods did they eat, how did they make a living and what did they do for fun-and you won’t even need to know Latin to ask.
Demonstrations of historical skills including swordsmanship, blacksmithing, weaving and carpentry, brain-tannin, etc., will take place through-out the day. Special large scale activities will take place at scheduled times at the lower common area and at the historic fort. These special activities will include English Renaissance era Morris Dancers, Revolutionary War military drills and mock combat, and Buffalo Soldier horse drills and mounted combat, and 1890’s baseball. Don’t get too close, or you may become a part of the action.
