Donkey Derby Days has been the primary fundraiser for the Two Mile High Club since 1931. This annual three-day festival serves as the largest fundraiser for the Club, which provides essential support for the Cripple Creek Donkeys. Donkey Derby Days celebrates our region's rich history and the significant role that donkeys played in that history.
The celebration includes music, an annual parade, Donkey Derby Races, great food, family attractions, and vendors. People come from all over the nation to celebrate this favorite festival!
