Fort Collins’ beloved Farm at Lee Martinez Park is hitting a big milestone this weekend—40 years of barnyard fun, baby goats, and hands-on learning. Since opening in 1985, The Farm has been a place where kids pet their first sheep, families share picnics, and everyone gets a taste of our city’s agricultural roots. And this Saturday, the whole community is invited to join the celebration.

📍 The Farm at Lee Martinez Park (600 N. Sherwood St.)

📅 Saturday, Sept. 13

🕙 10 a.m.–2 p.m. (free admission all day until 5 p.m.)

Expect live music, food trucks, farm games, a stick horse rodeo (yes, you read that right 🐴), line dancing, and plenty of time to visit the animals that make The Farm such a special spot. To top it off, they’ll be cutting a big anniversary cake—because what’s a birthday without dessert?

For four decades, The Farm has been more than a park—it’s been a bridge between Fort Collins’ past and present, honoring the agricultural heritage of the Cache la Poudre River while creating countless family memories.
