DENVER — The Colorado Democratic Party today announced the official programming lineup for DemFest 2026, a daylong gathering of Democratic candidates, elected officials, organizers, activists and voters from across Colorado on Saturday, June 6 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

Running from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the event will feature candidate forums, fireside chats and organizing conversations focused on the major races and issues shaping Colorado’s future, including the races for Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State and Congress. Guests will hear from candidates from across the state in one centralized location.

“This is a moment when people want to be involved because they’re worried about their country and want to know how our Party is ready to lead,” said Colorado Democratic Party Chair Shad Murib. “Coloradans are looking for leaders focused on lowering costs, protecting freedoms, improving public safety and delivering results. DemFest will bring together the people organizing, campaigning and fighting for Colorado’s future.”

Featured programming includes:

  • A gubernatorial forum with U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser

  • An Attorney General forum featuring Hetal Doshi, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty, Secretary of State Jena Griswold and David Seligman

  • A Secretary of State forum featuring State Senator Jessie Danielson and Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Amanda Gonzalez

  • A CD-8 forum featuring Shannon Bird, Evan Munsing and State Representative Manny Rutinel

  • A CD-5 forum featuring Jessica Killin and Joe Reagan

  • A CD-3 forum featuring Alex Kelloff and Dwayne Romero

  • A CD-1 fireside chat featuring CU Regent Wanda James and Melat Kiros

  • A fireside chat with State Senator Julie Gonzales

Invitations to participate in DemFest programming were extended to all Democratic candidates for statewide and congressional office.

The event will be hosted by the University of Denver’s Director of the Center on American Politics Seth Masket and former Denver City Councilwoman At-Large Robin Kniech.

Additional conversations and appearances will include Congressman Jason Crow, State Senator Jeff Bridges, Colorado Young Democrats and more. Throughout the day, attendees will hear discussions focused on affordability, quality of life, organizing for 2026 and the issues shaping Colorado’s future.

Community organizations, advocacy groups and Democratic candidates from across Colorado will also table throughout the event, giving attendees opportunities to connect directly with campaigns and organizations and find ways to get involved in their communities right away.

DemFest 2026 is free and open to the public, though registration is required.
