How does AFC choose a location?
The AFC has to consider many things before choosing a location: Field/Park capacity, parking availability, date availability, code restrictions (i.e. food and alcohol) and festival specifics needs.
At Arvada on Tap, why are the BBQ vendors separated from the beer and community vendors?
Arvada on Tap is held at the Ralston Park addition, and because the field is grass, we are not permitted to have any heat source on the grass. We also cannot move the festival onto the pavement, because we would lose all the available parking for our guests.
What is the policy with pets at the Festivals?
What is the difference between the various organizations hosting Arvada festivals?
The Arvada Festivals Commission (AFC) is a commission that is governed by the City of Arvada. Historic Olde Town Arvada (HOTA) consists of a group of Olde Town Arvada merchants. Olde Town Arvada also consists of a group of merchants who are part of the Business Improvement District (BID). Each agency hosts and funds its own festivals.
