HeavenFest was a big annual Christian music festival that brought together thousands of people every summer. This exciting event took place in different cities along the Front Range of Colorado.

History of HeavenFest

HeavenFest started in 2008 near Brighton, Colorado, which is close to Denver. In its first year, about 12,500 people came to the festival. The next year, in 2009, even more people attended, with 23,000 visitors!

In 2010, the festival moved to a field in Longmont, Colorado. It was a huge success, attracting over 35,000 attendees. That year, the festival also hosted the popular Scream the Prayer Tour.

After one year in Longmont, HeavenFest found a new home at The Ranch in Loveland, Colorado. The festival stayed there for two years. However, the organizers decided to take a break and cancelled the event for 2013, calling it "a year of rest."

Good news came in July 2014! HeavenFest announced on its Facebook page that it would return. New owners and managers took over, and the festival was back after a two-year break. The 2015 event happened on August 7–8 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. It was such a hit that they announced HeavenFest would return to the same location on July 29–30, 2016.
