CU Anschutz Medical Campus 2025 Block Party

September 10, 2025

11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Bonfils Circle

The CU Anschutz Medical Campus Block Party returns for its 11th year on Wednesday, September 10th. Bringing together students, staff, clinicians, administrators, and researchers from across the campus, this part-festival, part-information fair is a fun-filled opportunity to learn about all the amazing things happening here and within the Aurora community.

Enjoy musical performances by local artists, purchase lunch from food trucks, enjoy games and activities, and get free stuff from more than 100 booths representing on-campus departments and community non-profits and businesses.

See below to sign up to volunteer or learn how to become a sponsor of the event.

The booth application will be available in June.

Important Information for Exhibitors

As always, we encourage booths/tables to be interactive and fun. Remember, this is a PARTY, not an information fair!

The first application deadline is Monday, August 18th.
Priority will be given to applications received by this date. Your booth will be listed on the event directory. Location preferences and requests for power will be honored to the best of our ability.
The second application deadline is Wednesday, August 27th.
Applications received by this date will still be accepted, but location requests and power cannot be guaranteed and the booth name will not appear on the event directory. After this date, tables may be provided - if available - but tents can no longer be requested.
