* '''Perkins House Ice Cream Social''' − Held on the last Sunday in June on the lawn of the Perkins House; ice cream, pie, live [[Dixieland]] music, displays, and free house tours.
* '''Concrete River Days''' − A summer festival held on the second weekend in July, with a parade, sidewalk sales, and many outdoor activities; so named because the Palouse riverbed in downtown Colfax has been lined with concrete for the sake of flood control, and the water descends into a narrow central channel during the dry season. The festival is no longer held as of 2016. 
* '''Palouse Empire Fair''' − Held in early September {{convert|5|mi|abbr=on}} west of town; a midway, a rodeo, live music, and barns full of livestock and handicrafts.
* '''Winter Festival'''− a night parade held in downtown Colfax, Main Street, on the first Thursday in December. Festive floats, free candy, special programs at the public library, and Santa Claus.
