Celebrating a rich building tradition

Crestone is located in Saguache County, where strict building codes are not imposed on residential properties.

Over the years, many local homeowners have built their homes using alternative construction and sustainable energy systems, providing Crestone with one of the highest concentrations of natural and regeneratively-built homes in the nation.

For thirty-five years, The Crestone Energy Fair has provided thousands of attendees with hands-on workshops, educational seminars, home tours and on-going learning opportunities in natural and regenerative building methods.

One of the longest-running sustainability fairs in the nation

Run by committed and passionate volunteers, The Crestone Energy Fair is a free event committed to empowering attendees by providing them with education and skills that can help them choose alternative building methodologies and materials in their future projects.

Presentations, workshops, demonstrations and Home Tours are available for attendees to learn about different construction styles such as straw bale, cordwood, hempcrete, Earthships, and scaria, as well as electricity generation from solar photo-voltaic systems, gasifiers, methane bio-digesters, and geothermal.

In addition to building and construction, The Crestone Energy Fair offers youth activities, musical performances, yoga, movement and lifestyle workshops in our Wellness Village. Attendees also have access to the Energy Fair’s Artisan Marketplace, plus nourishing food and beverage options.

Join us September 11-14, 2025 for our 36th year.
