Join us on May 13th from 10am to 3pm for the Hummingbird Festival at the Starsmore Discovery Center. We will have a variety of fun and educational presentations for people of all ages. Please consider carpooling to the event as we anticipate parking will be limited due to ongoing construction of the road and adjacent parking lots in North Cheyenne Cañon Park.

A special note on parking…
Parking will be limited due to construction and closures in North Cheyenne Cañon Park. On an ordinary weekend day, the main parking lots in front of the Starsmore Discovery Center may fill up. Please consider carpooling to the event. Another alternative would be to park nearby and hike/walk/bike to North Cheyenne Cañon Park. If you make this hike in to the park we will give you a free Friends of Cheyenne Cañon t-shirt while supplies last. To redeem this t-shirt, please come to the Friends of Cheyenne Cañon table at the event and show us a picture from your hike/walk/bike or show us your route on a mapping application such as Strava. Thank you for helping us alleviate parking issues for the event!
