About the Festival

Summerset Festival was founded over 25 years ago as a way to gather the community together to say good-bye to summer. For the first few years, the festival was held on the west side of Johnston Reservoir.  Summerset Festival is a member of the Colorado Festivals and Events Association, representing community festivals, ethnic celebrations, music festivals, arts festivals, sporting events, historical celebrations, venues, chambers of commerce, parks and recreation districts, county fairs, rodeos, event vendors and more throughout Colorado.


Clement Park and its 200 acres continue to provide Summerset with a unique and beautiful event venue. Now, as the primary fundraiser of the Foothills Foundation , it has grown in size and sophistication, attracting over 40,000 festival-goers each year. In the early days of the event, organizers had to borrow money to keep the event afloat. Now, the mission of the event is to raise funds for Foothills Park & Recreation District and to create opportunity for businesses and organizations to showcase their specialties.

The Foothills Foundation

The Foothills Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization whose volunteer members are business and community leaders who give of their time, talents and energy to make a difference in the South Jeffco community. The Foundation acts as the fundraising arm of the Foothills Park and Recreation District, to provide funding for projects that could not otherwise be provided to the community. This year the Foundation is raising funds for new scoreboards at Clement Park and a special event gazebo at The Peak Recreation Center.
