The 7th annual Breckenridge Kingdom Days celebration is this coming weekend, June 15-16, 2013. Take a step back in time to the gold mining days where saloons and brothels lined Main Street and where mining legends and stories abound. Kingdom Days in Breckenridge, Colorado, is the unofficial kick-off to the summer season.
On Saturday, June 15th make sure to bring the little ones to the Riverwalk Center from 11 am-5 pm for magic and interactive kids games, gold panning, burro rides, train rides and a free photo booth. The National Repertory will kick off its season with an opening night concert of Williams’ Summon the Heroes, Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2, and more at the Riverwalk Center. Throughout the day, there are many historic tours you can also attend, including a tour of Barney Ford’s Victorian home, the Edwin Carter Interactive Museum, Summit Ski Exhibit, a Haunted Tour of Breckenridge, and many more. Don’t miss attending the extremely funny Outhouse Races down Ridge Street (one block East of Main Street) on Sunday, June 16th, starting at 2 pm, right after a free concert by the Luv Brothers from 12-2pm. Kingdom Days in Breckenridge, Colorado, is a blast from the past and not to be missed.
Wonder why Breckenridge is referred to as the “Kingdom of Breckenridge”?
A group of women from Breckenridge in the 1930’s came across a map of Colorado from the 1880’s that did not include Breckenridge. It led them to believe that Breckenridge was not officially annexed into the United States. In 1936, Breckenridge was officially annexed into the United States, with the Governor of Colorado even attending and raising the flag on the courthouse steps in Breckenridge. From then on, Breckenridge has been referred to as “Colorado’s Kingdom”.
