Broomfield Days is Broomfield’s biggest event of the year where friends and neighbors come together to celebrate what makes living in this community so special. This year’s event is scheduled for September 19, 2026, at Midway Park (1270 W Midway Blvd in Broomfield).
For decades, on a warm weekend in September, Broomfielders have come together to have fun and spend a day enjoying a festival in their honor. The day begins with a community pancake breakfast, followed by runners lining up for the Mayor’s Cup 5K and Fun Run before the Broomfield Days Parade comes down Midway Boulevard. Later, guests can explore over 300 vendor booths, food trucks, a car show featuring unique and classic cars, a children’s clown contest, the DockDogs competition, a duck race, jumping inflatables, a farm animal petting zoo, and live performances on three stages.
Bingo and Pancakes
To kick off Broomfield Days weekend, join friends and neighbors on Friday night, September 18, at 7:00 p.m. at the Girl Scout Shelter for the Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing’s annual BINGO night!

Rotary re-opens the BINGO game at 6:00 p.m. Saturday night.
Clown Contest
Calling all little clowns of Broomfield! It’s time to clown around at the Kid’s Clown Contest! Dress up in your best clown outfit and head to the Demo stage for a morning of fun and laughter. Registration is free and starts at 10:00 a.m. next to the Demo stage, but make sure a parent or guardian is present to sign you up. Kids will be grouped into three age divisions: 1-4 years, 5-6 years, and 7-10 years. The top two clowns in each group will win a brand-new bike!

Mayor’s Cup Race
Following the tasty community pancake breakfast comes the annual 2026 Broomfield Mayor’s Cup Race where runners of all ages and fitness levels line up to race the family 5K. Designed to bring the community together to promote health and fitness, the race kicks off at 8:20 a.m. on Midway Boulevard near the firehouse. Participants will follow a scenic route through Broomfield’s streets and bike paths and find themselves winding through the beautiful community park as their path leads them back over to Midway to get ready for the parade.

Let your pet showcase their jumping skills at the DockDogs Contest! Dogs can compete in the Big Air competition, where they leap from a dock into a pool to see how far they can jump. They can also test their abilities in the Extreme Vertical Competition to see who jumps the highest or race against the clock in the Speed Retrieve event. All dogs are welcome to participate!
