You can recycle your Christmas trees and contribute to the fuel for Pagosa’s WinterFest bonfire event.
The location to deposit your trees is at the Archuleta County Fairgrounds near the blue Zircon storage unit located along Mill Creek Road. There are signs indicating where to drop off your trees, and trees have already been placed as markers.
Please do not bring wooden pallets, furniture or other items, as this pile is for trees only. This is not the landfill.
You can bring your trees up until January 19, which is when the WinterFest Bonfire will occur.
This event is new to WinterFest in 2024, and will take place on January 19 at the Fairgrounds from 5 to 8pm. Admission will be free and there will be live music, food trucks, and alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages of the hot and cold variety.
This event has been absent from the community for several years. Due to popular demand, the Chamber has taken over and brought this event back. Come out and enjoy this family-friendly, fun event.
Who doesn’t like a big bonfire in the middle of winter?
