Las Colonias Vendor Information

New in 2020 we have three vendor locations at the Las Colonias River Park that can be reserved on a daily basis for $25 per day. To reserve a location, please call our Parks and Recreation Office at 970-254-3866. A permit will be issued and the food vendor is required to have that on site during the rental. The reserved location will be available to the food vendor for the specific day during park open hours.
