===Fall===
Voted "Best of the West" by the ''[[Grand Junction Daily Sentinel]]'s'' readership in 2001, 2002, 2006, 2008 and 2009, the Fruita Fall Festival started in 1914 as a harvest festival for the local fruit production industry and has evolved to a major event. It includes three days of events with music, carnival rides, a parade, a bed race, a baking and canning contest, a youth pet and talent show, two stages of music, and arts and crafts vendors. The event is celebrated on the last full weekend in September.<ref>Fruita Area Chamber of Commerce, {{cite web |url=http://www.fruitachamber.org/events/festivals.php |title=Fruita Area Chamber of Commerce |access-date=February 11, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718144528/http://www.fruitachamber.org/events/festivals.php |archive-date=July 18, 2011 }}, ''Fruita Festivals'', February 11, 2011</ref>
