Durango Events
You May Not Have Heard About

If you're in the area and want something new and different to do, check out this Durango events calendar. I will do my best to post interesting and unusual activities to go to, as well as great opportunities to help out local organizations.

For everyday goings on, you can go to the Durango Colorado Chamber of Commerce Durango Colorado Chamber of Commerce website to find their events calendar. But they don't list it all, so I'm going to try to find the more unknown and out-of-the-way things you can do while you're here.

You can also check the Durango Herald , not just for Durango news, but for a calendar of events.

Literary Festival

The Durango Public Library is hosting a Literary Festival from September 16-18. My understanding is that they will host several sessions relating to writing right at the library.

They do not have any details posted on the library website, as I write this, but I will try to post more when I can find them out.

1st Annual Durango Showcase of the Arts

Obviously, this is a first, and not many details are known, yet. But I intend to try to be involved in this with my photography, if nothing else.

You can check the website put up for the Durango Showcase of the Arts to see what you can find out, in the meantime.

That's all the Durango events for now. Check back for more soon!
