The Town of Minturn strives to host quality events and educational
programming for its citizens and business community. Every
summer, the Minturn Market brings
more than 125 vendors and 45,000 people to historic downtown
Minturn for shopping, socializing and  family
fun. In addition, we host an
Independence Day Celebration with a Main Street parade,
fireworks and live entertainment every July. In August, the
Eagle Valley Community Fund puts on the Annual
Rummage Sale at Maloit Park.
The fall brings several annual events to Minturn, including
the Vail Valley’s
largest Trick-Or-Treat night on October 30.
