I have been collaborating with Colorado Rising since the start of their Outdoor Series Events, and while I can’t take credit for putting the event together, I have been internally grateful to be able to participate and play a part. Each event focuses on a different issue area (i.e. Winter: Earth, Spring: Water, Fall: Air) all while creating community through food, music, and collective action. I especially love the intentionality that is present with every local vendor that is invited to participate and I always find new favorites every time I’m there. Attending an event at Patagonia has also proved to me their passionate dedication to environmental advocacy and so I am proud to work alongside brands and businesses that prioritize action over performative activism. You can find more information on each event linked below.
