Scotfest takes place in September and is a celebration of all things Scottish (and Irish), including traditional dancing and music, sports and games, and a dog show. Also in September is Autumn Gold, which involves music, dancing and beer. October sees the annual Elk Fest, based on the animal that lives in the surrounding mountains. There are arts and crafts made from elk skin and ivory, music, storytelling, and lots more elk-related activities. Estes Park hotels can fill up around the festivals and in the summer months, but that's no problem if you book in advance.
