Sovereign Commons is thrilled to announce their upcoming community event, “Trash Fest,” which will take place at Ute Drive Park in Aspen Springs on Saturday, May 6 from 8am to 3pm. The event aims to bring together the Aspen Springs community to promote stewardship and sustainability in the neighborhood.
One of the main features of the event is a community and road cleanup initiative. Archuleta County is generously providing a dumpster at Ute Drive Park on Friday, May 5 and Saturday, May 6 from 8am to 3pm for residents to dispose of cleanup trash or outdoor property trash free of charge.
Saturday Trash Fest Festivities
Saturday’s festival activities will include a “Trash Swap” initiative at Ute Drive Park, where residents can bring reusable items such as windows, doors, and greenhouse panels to exchange with other Aspen Springs residents, promoting the repurposing of items and reducing waste.
Aspen Springs is home to a thriving community of local businesses, farmers, artists, and artisans, and the event will feature the Aspen Springs Market from 11:30am to 3pm. Local businesses, farmers, artists, and artisans can showcase their offerings at the market free of charge.
During the event, there will be a raffle held and drawings to raise funds for future cleanup initiatives and community projects such as community gardens and skill shares. Turn your trash into treasure by entering the raffle! Prizes include two VIP soaking passes to The Springs Resort, two oil change vouchers for Pagosa Express Lube (a $75 value each), a yoga 5 punch pass to PMAB, and many more!
The raffle winners will be announced at 2:30pm (must be present to claim your prize).
Live music performances will also be held throughout the day, beginning at 11:30am and featuring local musicians Futurefolk and Carbon Red.
