Durango Horror Story started in October 2020 at the La Plata County Fairgrounds and is officially an annual event for the Four Corners Alliance for Diversity. The event encompasses a Dinner Theater atmosphere while providing a Halloween themed Variety Show loosely based on the American Horror Story franchise.

The Board has hosted many other Halloween shows in the past including Cirque Du Spook, Dragcula and more.

Durango Winter Pride started in January 2017 at Purgatory Resort north of Durango. The Festival has seen performances by “Latrice Royale” from Ru Paul’s Drag Race Season 4/All Stars 4 and “Kalorie Karbdashian Williams” from Ru Paul’s Drag Race Season 10.

In 2020, the Fresh Powder: Drag Hour and the Let it Snow: Talent Show & Dance moved to Downtown Durango. There is still a celebration at the mountain with discounts on lodging and lift tickets sprinkled with myxers and socials throughout the weekend.
