All About Leadville & Twin Lakes
Spring in Leadville and Twin Lakes is a season of renewal. As the pace of life slows and the community settles into its local rhythm, it’s the perfect time to reconnect – with the people, places, and small businesses that make our towns truly special.

Over three days, downtown Leadville and Twin Lakes come alive in a new way. It’s less about rushing and more about wandering – stepping into locally owned shops, lingering over meals, and uncovering something around every corner.
After a challenging winter, Leadville Main Street teamed up with local partners to find ways to support the small businesses at the heart of our community, ensuring they thrive for years to come.
Joining forces with Visit Leadville Twin Lakes, the Leadville/Lake County Economic Development Corporation, the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, and local favorites like Tennessee Pass Nordic Center, Cookhouse & Sleep Yurts, Melanzana, Treeline Kitchen, Marley Seifert Designs and more, we created a plan that celebrates shopping small while offering the chance to win some truly hard-to-find prizes.
