and features fresh local produce, baked goods, floral gifts, jewelry and
crafts, live music, and more for families to enjoy together.

As part of this special community‑focused market day, children are
encouraged to bring their bicycles to practice their riding skills with
Cortez Police Department officers, receive a free minor bicycle tune‑up
from Kokopelli Bike and Board, and learn about the Safe Routes to School
project that will upgrade and improve roadways and sidewalks around Mesa
Elementary School.

We extend a thank you to our community partners who make this event
possible: Ballantine Family Fund, Cortez Police Department, LOR Foundation,
First National Bank, Kokopelli Bike and Board, 1st Southwest Bank, and the
12 Hours of Mesa Verde. Their support helps create a safe, fun, and
engaging experience for families across Cortez.

After the Market, everyone is invited to stay in Parque de Vida for
Oktoberfest Cortez from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. This annual fall celebration
offers free, family‑friendly entertainment with live music and local food
and drink, creating a fun and relaxed way to continue the day in Cortez. (
