THE 5280 SWAP MEET - TICKETS ON SALE NOW
The 5280 Swap Meet is coming to Heritage Lakewood at Belmar Park on Saturday, September 27, 2025. This is a Rocky Mountain Region milestone project that is designed to create awareness about, promote, and celebrate the shared Chicano and Native cultures, traditions, and blood connection. The 5280 Swap Meet project marks the beginning of a new Colorado people of color tradition. Our history, our journey, and our story are rich and honorable; they are rooted in survival. SOMOS! La Familia and our 5280 Swap Meet team, sponsors, and community partners are proud to see this vision come to fruition and bring it to the Gente of Colorado in 2025 as we begin the first phase of a 3-year project building plan.
FIRST THINGS FIRST - OUR COMMUNITY PURPOSE
All net proceeds from the 5280 Swap Meet, after expense recovery, will go back into communities to help families, single parents, and grandparents raising kids this Christmas in Brighton, CO, Commerce City, CO, Denver, CO, Pueblo, CO, and on down to Rocky Ford and the La Junta, Manzanola, CO areas. This will be accomplished by distributing those proceeds to a network of small ministries and churches, non-profit organizations, and the Aztlan Recreation Center in Denver's Northside for use in servicing kids and families through their outreach projects.
