Colfax Avenue is about to get loud. On Saturday, November 15th, from 7 PM to 1 AM, the Colfax Carousal Punk Fest takes over Denver’s most iconic street for a night of pure, unapologetic punk rock and community energy. Eighteen bands, including local favorites like Tuff Bluff, Jon Snodgrass, and The Tammy Shine, will hit the stages at Tight End, The Squire, and Lion’s Lair, with Illegal Pete’s as command central for day-of tickets and merch. This isn’t a corporate festival, it’s a grassroots, not-for-profit movement built by the musicians themselves to support the venues and businesses hit hard by BRT construction along Colfax. It’s music with meaning. Loud, local, and all for love of Colfax. So grab your friends, lace up your boots, and get ready to mosh for a cause. Join us Saturday, November 15th, for the Colfax Carousal Punk Fest — where every chord, every beer, and every shout goes right back into keeping Colfax alive. Tickets are $15 to $30 and going fast. Grab yours now at hi.events, keyword Colfax Carousal, and be part of the street that never sleeps.
