Colfax Canvas Mural Festival 2023

Visit Aurora is proud to be a sponsor of the Colfax Canvas Mural Festival! A group of talented creatives in the Aurora-Denver metro are working together to create a safe, inclusive, and vibrant festival celebrating ten new murals in The Aurora Cultural Arts District (ACAD). They’ll be hosting a main stage with popular musicians, showcasing amazing businesses that run along Colfax, and activating the People’s Building parking area with fun games!

Artists have always been a harbinger of brighter times, and a coalition of some of the metro area’s best mural talent is looking forward to working together and giving back to one of the country’s most diverse neighborhoods. The murals will be placed on strategic points to add color and life to an already vibrant neighborhood. The bulk of the murals will be on the 9000 block of East Colfax, but an event map will be available for folks to see all the murals in the neighborhood, stretching from Dayton St. to Florence St.
