The RiNo Art District turns RiNo ArtPark into a three-day winter festival the first weekend of December. It’s a RiNo-FUL Life runs Friday, Dec. 4 through Sunday, Dec. 6, 2026, and each day has its own shape: Friday night is the lights, Saturday is the market and music, and Sunday adds a Santa fun run and waffles.
Friday, Dec. 4, runs from 5 to 9 p.m. with artist-made light sculptures, projections, card printmaking and a local artisan market, and the district’s Traffic Cone Tree and Menorah lighting happens at 7 p.m. The organizer’s home page describes the whole thing as a holiday market with a tree lighting held during December’s First Friday. Saturday, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., is billed as a full day of holiday happenings, live music and local art. Sunday, Dec. 6, also 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., brings a Santa fun run, live jazz, hands-on maker labs, locally made gifts and waffles.
The event page does not list admission or a street address for the ArtPark, so check it closer to the date for those details and for fun-run registration.
