Kingdom Days: June 16-17, 2012

Relive Breckenridge’s history and enjoy family fun at the popular Breckenridge event known as Kingdom Days. Celebrate 153 years of Breckenridge’s history with mining, exploration and adventure. Founded in 1859, Breckenridge was accidently left off US maps, and became known as "Colorado's Kingdom.” For one weekend in June, Breckenridge returns to its former glory and pays tribute to gold fields and mining, exploration and adventure, brothels and saloons, booms and busts.

During Kingdom Days, come enjoy the infamous Outhouse Race, a Breckenridge tradition. Teams come together to push and pull their custom built outhouses across the finish line. Perfect June weather, big crowds, crazy outhouses, and wacky characters make for a raucous time as contestants vie for the coveted trophies: the Gold Throne, the Silver Moon or the Bronze Bucket.

In addition to the Outhouse Race, Kingdom Days offers many other activities throughout the weekend. Let loose at a town party, take a historic dredge boat tour, race in the Repertory Run and Kid’s Dash, visit a museum or gallery event, take in some live music and watch a Wild West gun fight on Main Street. Bring the whole family out for what is sure to be an unforgettable Breckenridge weekend!
