Fremont County's biggest annual musical event is the Holy Cow Moosic Festival (formerly known as the Belvedere Blues Festival), held each fall in Cañon City.
Through the first ten years, the BBF was held inside a big tent behind
Merlinos’ Belvedere Restaurant at 1330 Elm Avenue in Cañon City. And
in 2010, we're changing the name and moving to the former football field at
the Holy Cross Abbey, the former monastery on East U.S. Highway 50 in Cañon
City! We'll have more room to play in, and everybody is encouraged to
bring their own lawn chairs to enjoy the music out in the grass! Sponsored
and produced by the all-volunteer (no paid staff!) Fremont Community
Foundation, the festival is always held on the weekend following the Labor
Day Holiday.

The Holy Cow Moosic Fest is an annual fundraising event for local non-profit agencies and charities. The more money we raise over the weekend, the more we can give away to others. And we can have a great time doing it, providing a huge boost to the local economy!
