NoCo Fest in Northern Colorado Helps Those With Special Needs

An event in Loveland that has only been around since 2023, is catered to entertaining adults while giving 100% of proceeds to a Northern Colorado charity helping those with special needs.

NOCOFest 2025 Comes to Loveland, Colorado August 23

You may not have even have heard of NOCOFest, as its only been held since 2023, but it's a wonderful event of fun and giving. Tickets are a bit pricey, but what you get in return is worth it; not just the unlimited food and drinks, but the feeling of helping.

NOCOFest will be taking place at Loveland Yards (formerly The Outlets at Loveland) at I-25 and Highway 34 in east Loveland.

100% of proceeds from NOCOFest go directly to Averys Light; a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that began in 2022 out of Windsor. Avery was the founders' daughter, who passed at the age of 6.

Averys Light's Mission:

To Bring Awareness by Providing Resources and Opportunities to the Special Needs Community.
We assist all ages and all disabilities, providing resources from adaptive equipment, additional therapies, even paras to help them be more successful in school.

NOCOFest is an evening outdoors in Loveland, with a "carnival" feel, (including a Ferris Wheel,) backyard games, live music/DJs, food trucks and drinks stations. Everything within the event is free and unlimited: You've paid good money, after all, and your contribution is appreciated.

NOCOFest Theme For 2025:

“I Am”.
As in “I am more than my disability.” This year, we’re using the theme “I Am” to remind the world that labels don’t define us — individuality does.
“I Am” is a celebration of the people in our community who are so much more than a diagnosis.
