Foothills Community Collective is a Conifer, Colorado nonprofit fostering strong, vibrant, resilient mountain communities. We produce the annual Elevation Celebration and the programs that bring this corner of the foothills together.
Foster strong, vibrant, and resilient communities by empowering individuals and groups to connect, collaborate, and contribute.
We believe connection is the foundation of a thriving community. Our programs lift up local businesses, celebrate the artisans who make this place feel like home, and strengthen the bonds between neighbors.
13 years of elevation celebration.
Conifer's premier summer street faire.
The Elevation Celebration is the heartbeat of Conifer's summer — two days celebrating the mountain community's spirit, talent, and natural beauty. Two performance stages with local + regional bands, an Artisan Market with over 100 vendors, a Family Fun Zone, a Craft Beer & Spirits Garden featuring local breweries, and the Elevation Run 5K + 10K on scenic foothill trails.
