The tradition of providing a special autumn marketplace will continue with the 2024 edition of the Fine Arts and Crafts Festival in Bond Park. While there is no guarantee about what Mother Nature has in mind, normally the weather the third weekend in September is glorious when a sapphire blue sky is dotted with scattered small fluffy cumulus clouds. Estes Park’s September daytimes generally are punctuated by the symbol of happiness, strength and vitality: the sun.
