DaddyFest Sponsorships

Durango Discovery Museum is pleased to present the Seventh Annual DaddyFest street party on June 18, 2011, the Saturday before Father’s Day.

This year is our most exciting yet, underscored by the long-awaited opening of the Discovery Museum in the historic Powerhouse on the banks of the Animas River. DaddyFest's Main Avenue event will kick off summer family fun with live music, a food court and beer garden, a micro golf tournament, and scientific craft and activities booths. It’s all to celebrate Dad!

DaddyFest event is the fundraiser for Discovery Museum operations and programs, including:

Discovery Kids early childhood play and learning center
Sudden Science^TMafter school science clubs
Solar Roller mobile discovery lab

Last year’s DaddyFest was a huge success: About 3,500 people attended and approximately $30,000 was raised.

The community is invited to enjoy the entertainment and a number of activities for free, and we sell tickets for refreshments and other activities.

By offering free family-friendly entertainment and activities, we are able to reach a broad cross-section of the community, but to do so we need your help.
