Haunted Manitou Historic Downtown Ghost Tour
Presented by Haunted Manitou at Manitou Springs Memorial Park Manitou Springs, CO
Step beyond the veil and wander the shadowed streets of Manitou Springs on a 75-minute haunted walking tour filled with chilling legends, forgotten history, and restless spirits that refuse to leave the mountains behind. As twilight settles over downtown, your guide will lead you through dimly lit alleyways and streets to view historic buildings, and explore hidden corners where strange encounters have been whispered about for generations. Hear tales of ghostly apparitions, curses, witchcraft, and the lingering energy said to haunt the springs themselves. From eerie Victorian-era stories to spine-tingling paranormal sightings, every stop reveals another layer of Manitou’s haunted past. You may feel a cold breath at your shoulder… hear footsteps where no one walks… or catch a glimpse of something watching from the darkness. Perfect for believers, skeptics, thrill-seekers, and curious wanderers alike, this spirited adventure blends history, mystery, humor, and just the right amount of fear into an unforgettable evening beneath the shadow of the Rockies. Come walk with the spirits… if you dare.

Junktique Off-Main
Presented by The Industrial at Junktique Off-Main Florence, CO
Junktique Off-Main A bigger vision. A new monthly experience. Junktique Off-Main — a new monthly event located on private property just off downtown Florence. Designed to give both shoppers and vendors more room, more convenience, and more opportunity, Off-Main expands the Junktique experience beyond Main Street while keeping the same spirit of discovery that people love. This new location creates space for growth and flexibility, with room for vendors who want to participate monthly and room for customers to enjoy an easy, comfortable shopping experience. Visitors can expect: A monthly market experience. Easy access just off downtown Florence. Free parking (off street, in the front of the property.) $2 parking (off-street, next to the event gate). VIP ($5) (on concrete, inside the event gates.) Free handicapped parking (must have license plate or hanging tag, on concrete, inside the event gates.) For vendors, Junktique Off-Main offers flexible ways to be part of the event, including full-time vendor spaces and per-event rentals. Full-time vendor spaces are an especially attractive option for sellers who want to simplify setup and reduce the constant work of moving inventory. Instead of hauling merchandise back and forth for each event, vendors can store their inventory on site and simply open their doors each month. Less hauling. Less hassle. More selling. Junktique Off-Main is built for growth, convenience, and a new kind of market experience in Florence — one that gives vendors more flexibility and gives shoppers more reasons to come back again and again.
