Wool Market: Free, Family-Friendly, Fibery Fun! The Town of Estes Park is excited to announce the 34th annual Wool Market, a beloved community tradition celebrating all things fiber! You can still sign up for the workshops until May 23 at eventsinestes.com/category/workshops. Join us on Saturday, June 7, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, June 8, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Estes Park Events Complex (1125 Rooftop Way) for a weekend of engaging activities, shopping, and family-friendly fun. This free and open-to-the-public event, proudly sponsored by EP News, Quality Inn Near Rocky Mountain National Park, Visit Estes Park, and the Town of Estes Park, is one of Estes Park’s signature attractions. Visitors can browse a vibrant marketplace featuring more than 80 vendors offering a wide variety of fiber products — from yarns and raw fleece to spinning tools, apparel, and home décor. It’s the perfect place to find one-of-a-kind items and connect with skilled artisans from across the region. In addition to shopping, guests will enjoy our premier Fleece & Fiber Show, livestock shows featuring sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, and rabbits — an entertaining and educational experience for all ages. Don’t miss the live demonstrations of sheep shearing and fiber arts, where you can see craftsmanship and tradition come to life. This year, you and your family can have a hands-on experience with a loom at the Community Spin & Weave Project. Families will find plenty to enjoy with horse-drawn wagon rides, an interactive petting zoo, and kids’ craft tables, all included at no cost. These activities offer hands-on fun and great photo opportunities for visitors of all ages. Don’t forget to meet the Yak, which is a new addition this year. A variety of food trucks will also be on-site, offering delicious bites, classic fair treats, and refreshing beverages available for purchase. For full event details, visit epwoolmarket.com. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to the Estes Park Wool Market — a celebration of community, creativity, and fiber arts! (fb)
