The experience

What's special

Rocky Mountain Rendezvous is a four-day contra dance weekend held each Labor Day weekend at the Avalon Ballroom in Boulder, Colorado, organized by the non-profit Colorado Friends of Old Time Music and Dance (CFOOTMAD). It pairs live old-time and contra bands with callers for social dancing and draws dancers from across the region, with a welcoming, all-experience-levels community spirit

What people love

Attendee feedback is limited but warm: travelling dancers describe having a wonderful time and leaving with sore, smiling faces, and thank the organizers for a welcoming weekend

Last time around (2025)

The most recent edition took place over Labor Day weekend 2025 at the Avalon Ballroom. Public attendee commentary is sparse, but the dancers who shared feedback described a fun, friendly weekend

🅿 Parking

On site parking available. Cost one source recommends arriving 30-60 minutes before an event since the lot can fill for busy events. No dedicated overflow or rideshare-only zone documented; not applicable at this scale of indoor dance-weekend event

🚙 Car hire

Compare car hire at DEN

Indoor, in-city dance-weekend venue with free on-site parking and normal Boulder rideshare coverage car hire is a secondary option here, mainly useful for attendees combining the trip with wider Front Range/Rocky Mountain travel rather than a necessity for reaching the venue itself

Hipcamp

The Avalon Ballroom is an indoor, in-city Boulder venue with no camping component Hipcamp is a weak/low-relevance fit here, included only for consistency with the spec's tier structure. Boulder County does have surrounding Hipcamp inventory (foothills/mountain areas west of the city) for attendees who would rather camp than book a hotel

Accessibility & comfort

What the organiser or venue publishes about getting around, and what they do not.

Disability accessNo disability access information is published. The organiser CFOOTMAD does use the word accessibility on its site, but only about dance being easy for beginners, not about disabled access, so it should not be read as an access statement. Ask the organiser directly

Official site cfootmad.org checked in full; no disabled access information published. Its uses of the word accessibility refer to dance skill level, not disability access

Confirm your specific needs with the organiser's access team before you travel.
