July in Silverton is unlike anywhere else in Colorado.
The Alpine Loop is open. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge is running full schedules. The trails are clear, and the river is moving. And this month, the community event calendar is as full as it gets. Whether you are visiting for a long weekend or spending the whole summer here, July gives you more than enough reasons to be present.
Here is everything happening in Silverton from now through early August — along with two properties available for anyone who has been thinking about making this place a more permanent part of their life.
Silverton Farmers Market
Every Friday · 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM · Anesi Park on Blair Street
The Silverton Farmers Market runs every Friday through the summer season at Anesi Park on Blair Street. Local produce, handmade goods, and the kind of easy, unhurried community gathering that Silverton does particularly well. July dates: July 10, July 17, July 24, and July 31.
Silverton Brass Band Performances
Sundays · 11:30 AM · Town of Silverton
The Silverton Brass Band performs throughout the summer at locations around town. These free performances are a staple of the Silverton summer experience — the kind of thing that stops you in your tracks and reminds you where you are.
July and early August dates: July 12, July 19, July 26, and August 2.
Silverton Summer Sounds
July 10 · 6:00 PM · Memorial Park
A free open-air concert series at Memorial Park, Silverton Summer Sounds is one of the most beloved summer traditions in town. Live music, food, drinks, and the San Juan Mountains on every side. The July 10 date is just two days away — bring a chair and enjoy the evening.

Come See Silverton for Yourself
There is no better time to experience this town than July. The mountains are at their most accessible, the community is at its most alive, and the particular quality of a summer evening in Silverton — cool air, long light, the sound of the Animas somewhere in the distance — is something that tends to stay with people long after they leave.
If you have been thinking about visiting, this is the month to do it.
And if you have been thinking about something more permanent, summer is when that conversation usually begins.
We would love to see you here.
