COME AS YOU ARE FEST 2: A music, art, film, fashion and physical media festival by COLLUR

COME AS YOU ARE FEST returns for its second year on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, across six venues in Downtown Greeley. Six stages. One night.

Every stage is included with a ticket and every venue is within walking distance. Wander between them all night. No wristband upgrades, no second ticket at the door of the cinema. Three of the six stages are free.

THE SIX HOUSES

KINGDOM at Moxi Theater. The main stage. Rock, rap, pop, electronic and fashion. Headliners, drag, full production, and the closing set of the night.

TOWER at Spotlight Cafe & Creamery. Free entry. Singer-songwriter, solo and duo, acoustic. One mic, close quarters. Plus the best coffee, treats and ice cream in town.

DUNGEON at Stella's Pinball Arcade. Hardcore, electronic, night life. The club, the grit, the underground party.

THEATER at The Kress Cinema & Lounge. A curated block of short films from Colorado filmmakers, screened in a real cinema. Upgraded to the big theater this year.

MEADOW at The Greeley Armory. Free entry. Low sensory. Instrumental, acoustic, singer-songwriter and spoken word, at reduced volume with soft lighting and seating, so you can catch a break from the noise.

SHOPPE at The Downtown Sound. Free entry. Analog. Solo to trio, acoustic, electronic, and the occasional anomaly, among the records, tapes and CDs, plus a pop-up artist merchandise market.

THE VENDOR MARKET

Twenty or more vendors across the night. Art, clothing, prints, zines, jewelry, handmade goods and physical media. Local makers, selling the things they made.

WHY PHYSICAL MEDIA

The festival is built on a simple idea. A thing you can hold is worth more than a thing you scroll past. Records, tapes, zines, film, paintings.

The Downtown Sound is the hub of that this year: workshops, demonstrations, and a locally sourced, direct-from-artist merchandise market, on top of the records, tapes and CDs already on the shelves.

YEAR ONE

The first Come As You Are chronicle ran Friday, November 7th, 2025. Three hundred community members sprawled across four stages to support thirty-five performers, twenty vendors and four filmmakers. Year two opens two new territories: The Greeley Armory and The Downtown Sound.
