Welcome to Montrose-Delta BeaconFest: A Celebration of Age!

Last Updated 9/24/2024

Welcome to Montrose-Delta BeaconFest, Colorado’s largest and funnest celebration for seniors, baby boomers and their families!

Get ready to treat yourself to a fun-filled day of learning and entertainment as we celebrate everything that’s great about getting older! (I promise there’s plenty!) BeaconFest is also our way of celebrating BEACON readers and the businesses devoted to helping them age well in Western Colorado. 

If you’re reading this before the show, make sure you don’t miss out! Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 12, 2024. BeaconFest takes place from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Montrose Pavilion, 1800 Pavilion Drive, Montrose. 

Whether you’re a seasoned BeaconFest attendee or joining us for the first time, here’s a sneak peek of what to expect at this year’s show:

EVERYTHING IS FREE!

No other senior expo around has live music, delicious food samples and a full schedule of educational seminars—all for free! 

VENDORS GALORE

BeaconFest is the best opportunity to engage directly with more than 60 local and national agencies, from home improvement experts and housing representatives to health care providers and advocacy organizations. Plus, meet real estate professionals, financial advisors, local clubs, nonprofit organizations and much more!

LIVE MUSIC

We have an exciting lineup of entertainers performing throughout the day, including Jedi George, Eric Gross of Wild Flight, Coral Skye and Robin Freed & Harps in Motion Ensemble. 

INFORMATIVE SEMINARS

Join us for a series of enlightening seminars where local experts share their knowledge on important topics such as Medicare, break-through medical treatments and more.

BIG GIVEAWAYS EVERY 30 MINUTES

Register to win thousands of dollars’ worth of door prizes. Skip the lines and maximize your time at BeaconFest by completing the door prize form before the event and dropping it off at the BEACON booth as you enter. You could win incredible prizes like vacation packages, hot springs soaks, living room furniture and gift cards to your favorite restaurants. 

You must be present to win, so feel free to explore or relax and wait for your name to be called. With multiple winners selected every half hour, your chances of winning are pretty good—much better than the lottery, that’s for sure!

Stick around until 1:30 p.m. for Let’s Make a Squeal, the game when all unclaimed door prizes will be given to the audience in a madcap rendition of Monty Hall’s Let’s Make a Deal. 

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

Even though they don’t do it for the recognition, join us in honoring some of our community’s most giving senior volunteers during the Volunteer of the Year ceremony at 1 p.m.

VOTE FOR THE BEST

Show our exhibitors some love by voting for your favorite booths! Pick up a Senior’s Choice Ballot on your way inside and cast your vote for the best overall booth, the booth with the friendliest staff and the booth with the best giveaways. Check out the next edition of our monthly magazine to see the winners!
