About the event

Aurora’s signature, family-friendly summer festival celebrating the many international cultures represented in the city is back with a new name, new start time and a special headlining attraction in 2026. Aurora Fest will celebrate “The World in a City” on the Aurora Municipal Center Great Lawn, from 3 to 10 p.m. Saturday, June 13. The event will feature many of the same great traditions and fun that have brought laughter and energy to the Great Lawn for over a decade. There will be dance, musical and other cultural performances, an international market featuring clothing, crafts and more from countries around the world and, of course, food trucks and stalls offering a variety of international cuisine. Festivities will start with the Parade of Nations featuring delegations carrying flags from countries all over the world. This year, the festival will transition to an afternoon start time and end after dark. This sets the stage for a special festival-capping drone show! Aurora Fest attendees will be invited to feast their eyes on a performance orchestrated by Brightflight Drone Shows. The show is being made possible by the America 250 - Colorado 150 Commission, the Colorado Tourism Office, and sponsors including UCHealth, Tallgrass, and Chevron and will be part of the year-long America 250 — Colorado 150 series of events commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and the 150th anniversary of Colorado’s statehood.
