About this event
The Emma Crawford Coffin Races & Festival is Manitou Springs' free coffin-race day on Manitou Avenue, right after a noon parade. The Chamber started the races in 1995 in memory of local resident Emma Crawford, and this is the 32nd year. It is a quirky hometown Halloween tradition rather than a ticketed haunted attraction.
Our take: Claim a spot in the 900 block before noon so you catch both the parade and the races that follow.
Good to know
Sat; parade at noon, races about 1–2pm
