About La Junta Events

In an effort to organize, coordinate and publicize community events, the City of La Junta created a new position – Events Coordinator.

The Events Coordinator serves as a liaison for regional events and attractions within the area. It is the mission of the Events Coordinator to work with all groups and organizations to help leverage existing events while promoting new events that will enhance the experiences of both citizens of and visitors to La Junta and the surrounding region.

Maintaining a master calendar of regional events is among the main responsibilities of the Events Coordinator as well. The calendar includes all public community events including the arts, sporting events and special events. Visit LaJuntaEvents.com for the official community calendar for the City of La Junta.

It is the vision of the Events Coordinator to: Creatively leverage, highlight and emphasize La Junta and all we have to offer.

Koshare Dancers

The Koshare Indian Dancers are the members of Boy Scout Troop 232 and Venturing Crew 2230 of the Rocky Mountain Council, Boy Scouts of America. The Koshares perform between 50 and 60 shows a year. Their dances and shows are recognized by Native American dancers as authentic representations of Native American dance; both historically and culturally accurate. In addition to their Summer and Winter Ceremonials and other shows at home, the Koshare Indian Dancers are available for performances anywhere in the world. The Koshares have delighted audiences from Alaska to Mexico and California to New York. Museum admission is included in the show ticket, so come early to tour the museum exhibits, shop in the trading post, view auction items or enjoy the atmosphere in the Koshare Kiva.
