The International Archaeology Day celebration is a FREE expo to learn, explore and experience archaeology. Professional and avocational archaeologists from around the state will demonstrate, discuss, and bring to life the cultures of Colorado’s past at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre (Lower South Lot #2) on Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
From family-friendly archaeology fairs to guided tours, simulated digs, lectures, and classroom visits, IAD offers interactive, hands-on experiences that let you channel your inner Indiana Jones and Dora the Explorer.
Booths and tables will be set up with multiple activities around history, culture and archaeology for kids and adults of all ages.
See a live tipi demonstration and earth watercolor display from the Northern Arapaho.
Check out local artifacts and learn all about the amazing resources we have in Colorado and abroad in Israel and Egypt.
This year there will once again be offering FREE ranger-led tours of Red Rocks Park, a tour of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp, tours of Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave, Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve, and activities at Roxborough State Park.
Two food trucks will be available on-site. A small beer garden for attendees 21+ will be available within a secure area.
