Why is there a gate admission?

Entry fees help support our non-profit partners, as do pre-ticket sales, beverage sales and all tip jars! Entry fee is also used to off-set the cost of bringing in National Talent acts such as Sugar Ray, Lifehouse, Shawn Colvin, and the Gin Blossoms. The Taste of Fort Collins is proud to partner and support the following three local non-profit partners:

Special Olympics of Larimer County

Kiwanis Club International

Larimer County Child Advocacy Center
