Colorado Springs FamilyFest Is October 10 — Free for Kids 12 and Under at 4845 List Dr

October is becoming one of the best months in Colorado Springs for free family events, and Colorado Springs FamilyFest is a strong addition to the lineup. The event comes to 4845 List Dr on Saturday, October 10, from noon to 5 p.m. Kids 12 and under get in free.

FamilyFest is organized by The Expo Pros, which runs family-focused community expos around Colorado. The event brings together family-oriented vendors, local service providers, activities for kids, and prize drawings — with the goal of connecting families with the resources and businesses that serve them in their community.

Why FamilyFest Is Worth Your Saturday

Events like FamilyFest serve a practical purpose beyond just entertainment. Colorado Springs has a rich ecosystem of family-serving businesses, nonprofits, and service providers — tutoring centers, pediatric health practices, family photographers, recreation programs, children's enrichment providers — and it can be hard to discover them organically. FamilyFest puts them all in the same room for an afternoon.

If you're relatively new to Colorado Springs, or if you have kids entering a new stage (kindergarten, middle school, activities season), this kind of event is one of the fastest ways to learn what's available in your part of the city. Vendor conversations at these expos often turn into genuine referrals and connections that benefit families for years.

The kids activities also mean parents can do a slow walk through the vendor floor without everyone going stir-crazy. That's a small but meaningful thing when you're trying to actually absorb information at a family expo.

Getting There

FamilyFest is at 4845 List Dr, which is in the southeastern part of Colorado Springs. The venue is accessible from both Interstate 25 and Powers Boulevard. Parking details will be confirmed closer to the event — check theexpopros.com for the latest information and any updates to the lineup.
