Our biggest event of the year is October 7—Prairie Harvest Fest!
Join us August 8 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., for our Heat of Summer (socially-distanced) celebration and experience the creation of chalk masterpieces that honor the prairie. Plus bring out your inner artist with our interactive art activities.
Art-Focused Activities: Local artists from Art Hot Spot Studios creating real-time chalk art, including a recreation of the famous Harvey Dunn painting, “The Prairie is My Garden” and art pieces inspired by the new High Prairie Park Hearth Wall.
Express your own creativity and try your hand at coloring fun chalk drawings of prairie-inspired icons. We will provide individually-packaged chalk for each family to use and keep after the event.
Celebrate Summer with Food Trucks and Cool Treats from California Wrap Runner, Em’s Ice Cream Truck and The Real Deal Food Truck, and live music from David Lawrence and The Spoonful!
Cool off with misting stations, and tours of 13 air-conditioned model homes with summer beverages at each sales center.
Prizes and More: Register with the Painted Prairie App for a chance to win fabulous prizes such as a cool mountain getaway, and a bar top ice maker.
FREE tickets are required. We are asking all attendees to register based on their arrival time as availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees will be required to wear a mask or face covering while attending the event. Register on the Events page.
Once we heard of Painted Prairie in 2021, we were hooked! We loved the diversity of the community, the open space, and everything else it has to offer. Our house has very rapidly turned into a home. We actually met some of our closest friends at a Painted Prairie event.
Painted Prairie has become a place that feels like home for my family because of the strong sense of community and the diverse and inclusive atmosphere. It’s a place where we can connect with neighbors, support local businesses, and truly feel like we belong. The shared values of unity, diversity, and sustainability in the community align with what our family holds dear. It’s a place where children can thrive, and we can contribute positively to the community.
Being an active community while bringing us together on the different events throughout the year. We have been fortunate to enjoy the farmers markets, the neighborhood BBQ, the pancake breakfast, the family painting class, movies at the park and the Fall Festival! Our son and dog also love all the parks!
