Description and history of event: The Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival began in 1969 when the city of Wheat Ridge was first born. It is one of the oldest and longest running festivals in the state of Colorado. The name of the festival honors the slogan “Carnation Capital of the World” that was given to the area long ago when Wheat Ridge and the surrounding area actually numbered 32 different growers at one time! During the 1960’s, a bouquet of fresh carnations was delivered to the White House every Monday morning and displayed in the front foyer with a card stating: “With compliments to our nation’s capital, Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Carnation City.” The Carnation Festival continues to celebrate the city’s heritage and bring the community together each year in August for an annual end of summer celebration. As it enters it’s 47 th year, the Carnation Festival will be re-energized with several new elements that create even more “festival fun” for attendees. The Carnation Festival, Inc. is a registered 501c3 non-profit, volunteer organization with the sole purpose of producing the Annual Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival for the benefit of the community and numerous non-profit groups in Wheat Ridge, CO.
