Cave of the Winds Sound Bath
Presented by Singing Bowls of the Rockies at Cave of the Winds Manitou Springs, CO
Step into the vast, echoing chambers of Cave of the Winds and experience a powerful meeting of nature and sound. Deep beneath the surface, surrounded by ancient rock formations shaped over millions of years, the steady resonance of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, Native American flutes, hand pan, and layered instrumentation fills the cavern. The natural acoustics of the cave amplify every tone, creating a grounded, immersive experience that encourages stillness and a clear reset. Guided by Gigi Turner PsyD and her team, you’ll be immersed, you’ll be immersed in rich, resonant frequencies that flow through the natural acoustics of the cave, inviting deep relaxation, clarity, and emotional release. For generations, Cave of the Winds has been regarded as a place of powerful energy. The Apache and Ute peoples believed the Great Spirit of the Wind lived within these walls. Through sound, you’re invited to experience this extraordinary setting in a deeply intentional way. Join us for this one-of-a-kind sound bath and experience the resonance of sound, held within stone. Meet Gigi Dr. Gigi Turner PsyD, founder and owner of Singing Bowls of the Rockies, has created Colorado Springs' premier sound bath sanctuary. Formerly a psychology professor and psychotherapist, she combines her deep understanding of the mind with the healing power of sound. With over a decade of experience and an extensive collection of more than 100 singing bowls, Gigi has guided thousands of participants through immersive and restorative sound journeys. Her expertise lies in crafting deeply soothing experiences…

The show is fun for the entire family, and makes a great group event or memorable date night! “Yo Ho Ho and a Barrel of Fun…or…Don’t Leech on me” is a hilarious pirate melodrama that takes place in the Caribbean Islands, and follows the exploits of the Evil Lord Lucifer Leech and his equally despicable daughter Monsoon Mary. The nefarious couple has kidnapped Lady Patience Purity of Portsmouth and is intent on relieving her of the family jewels! Thankfully, Sheffield Silver, the consummate hero and captain of the Jolly Roger, arrives just in time…or has he? The Leeches never let go and won’t give up without getting their hands on the treasure. Can Sheffield Silver save Lady Patience and her servant Maggie McMurkin from the dastardly duo?

32nd Annual Emma Crawford Coffin Races
Presented by Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce, Visitor's Bureau & Office of Economic Development at Downtown Manitou Springs Manitou Springs, CO
Celebrate 32 years of racing at the Emma Crawford Coffin Races in Manitou Springs! In 1995, the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce launched the nation’s first ever coffin races to honor a beloved local resident, Emma Crawford. What began as a tribute has grown into a signature Manitou Springs tradition—which has inspired other coffin races across the country! The story dates back to 1889, when Emma Crawford arrived in Manitou Springs seeking relief from tuberculosis in the town’s famed mineral springs, fresh mountain air, and sunshine. Defying those who said she was too ill, she summited Red Mountain and tied her red scarf at the peak—later asking to be laid to rest there, forever overlooking the charming mountain community she had come to love. After her passing in 1891, her fiancé, Wilhelm Hildenbrand—a civil engineer with the Pikes Peak Cog Railway—fulfilled her final wish. Joined by 11 townspeople, he carried her coffin up the 7,200-foot slope to a gravesite near the summit. Decades later, in 1929, years of severe winters and heavy spring rains sent Emma’s coffin sliding down the mountainside. When local children discovered the remains, only the casket handles, a nameplate, and a few bones remained—cementing a legend that continues to inspire the annual races today.
