Special Events
The Fort holds many special events each year. Highlights include sponsoring the Tesoro Cultural Center’s Indian Market & Ceremonial Dance the first weekend in June, 1840s Rendezvous & Spanish Colonial Art Market in mid-September and Historic Lecture Series annually fall through spring.
Of course every night at The Fort Restaurant is a Special Event. It’s the spectacular location of our replica of Bent’s Old Fort from the 1830s in the beautiful red rocks country a short distance southwest of Denver, Colorado. It’s the historic ambience; our friendly, relaxed staff; the beautiful views of Denver to the east and Colorado’s mountains to the west. And, of course, it’s the fine dining you will experience when you visit The Fort. Come see us soon and make the night your own personal Special Event!
