Colorado Freedom Fest set for Castle Rock with Gutfeld, Logan speakers

Castle Rock is set to become the center of a tightly branded conservative showcase when RMV Freedom Festival 2026 comes to the Douglas County Fairgrounds on June 26 and 27. Rocky Mountain Voice is calling it its flagship two-day gathering, a patriotic event built around faith, family, freedom and the future as the county prepares to host a crowd drawn by big-name speakers, live entertainment and multiple ticketed events.

The festival is being framed as more than a political rally. Organizers say it will commemorate America’s 250th anniversary and Colorado’s 150th anniversary, using the fairgrounds as a stage for what they describe as a large-scale celebration of civic and religious identity. The lineup already includes 21 confirmed speakers and headliners, with more announcements still expected.

Among the names publicly listed are Greg Gutfeld, Lara Logan, Dr. Kevin Roberts, Nick Shirley, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, Pastor Christine Coleman, Erin Lee, Dr. James Lindsay, Duane “Dog” Chapman and Larry Gatlin. The schedule stretches beyond speeches, with workshops, live music, rodeo entertainment, family activities and food trucks built into the weekend programming.

The event also includes two marquee add-ons that appear designed to broaden its reach. The Mountain Majesty Gala will feature a plated dinner with drinks, a speaker program, a live performance by Larry Gatlin and front-row access to a drone-show finale. The Back the Blue Bash will include a barbecue buffet dinner, a speaker program featuring Dog the Bounty Hunter, live music from the Curtis Grimes Band and remarks from Colorado prosecutors.

Ticketing is tiered for different budgets and levels of access. Organizers and Douglas County’s event listing show Friday Day Passes, Saturday Day Passes, Full Weekend Passes, All-Access Weekend Passes and VIP Weekend Passes, along with separate rodeo tickets. Rodeo admission starts around $45, while full-weekend passes start around $195.

For Douglas County, the festival underscores the role Castle Rock plays as a gathering place for Colorado’s right-leaning political and cultural scene. The fairgrounds offer the kind of open, flexible venue that can handle multiple stages, family programming and high-profile speakers in one place, while the event’s themes suggest organizers want to mobilize “freedom-loving Coloradans” from across the state. With a weekend lineup built around patriotism, religious language and law-and-order symbolism, RMV Freedom Festival 2026 is shaping up as both a celebration and a statement about the county’s place in Colorado politics.
