What a year.

In 2025, we broke ground on Phase II of The Ranch Master Plan. Now we’re rolling into 2026 with dirt flying, energy rising, and momentum building fast.

By Fair 2026, the new Event Lawn will be complete and ready to light up Northern Colorado.

🎤 Concerts.
🎉 Festivals.
🐴 The new home of the Larimer County Fair.
🎶 And the future site of Northern Colorado’s outdoor amphitheater — opening in 2028.

You’ve got a few months, so start now: break in those new cowboy boots, stretch it out, work on your dance moves, and hydrate. Because when this space opens, you’re gonna want to show up, show out, and turn all the way up.

We heard you want more behind-the-scenes action — we've got you!

Crews are hustling on the new Event Lawn — dirt’s flying, progress is real, and Phase II is officially in motion. Right now, we’re moving earth and stacking layers of soil material.

Up next? Utilities. Power, fiber, water, and sewer. It's not glamorous, but it’s what makes everything else possible. So that Northern Colorado can show up and show out for epic concerts, packed festivals, and unforgettable moments.

🎥 Check out the action, and stay tuned for more Phase II updates!
