Natural Grocers® Hosts Its Seventh Annual Celebrate Colorado Event in 2026
Natural Grocers®, a highly respected grocery retailer specializing in organic and natural products since 1955, is gearing up for its seventh annual Celebrate Colorado event. Scheduled from March 3rd to 5th, this three-day affair marks the celebration of the state and its rich local offerings. Customers visiting any of the 45 stores in Colorado will be treated to exclusive discounts, exciting giveaways, and a chance to participate in various sweepstakes, reinforcing Natural Grocers' commitment to its community.
The origins of Natural Grocers can be traced back to the door-to-door delivery by co-founders Margaret and Philip Isely, who aimed to make healthy living accessible to everyone. Their visionary approach has blossomed into a trusted chain with 168 locations nationwide, all rooted in local communities across the United States. In Colorado, Natural Grocers employs nearly 1,600 dedicated Crew members from the state, with their headquarters situated in Lakewood.
The Celebrate Colorado event is designed to honor local brands and products, thereby fortifying community ties. During the event, customers can receive a free, exclusive reusable shopping bag and sticker, both crafted to symbolize Colorado pride— available while supplies last, of course.
In addition to the freebies, attendees will have the opportunity to win one of three exciting prizes—from a custom snowboard valued at $1,195, courtesy of Colorado's own Meier, to an Aventon PACE 500 e-bike worth $1,599, or a $500 Natural Grocers Gift Card. To enter the sweepstakes, participants simply need to fill out an entry form available at all Colorado locations during the event's duration.
Natural Grocers is also allowing {N}power® members a bonus: a 10% discount on all Colorado beers, which adds an extra layer of delight and savings to their shopping experience. This promotion reaffirms their dedication to supporting local producers and providing customers with quality options.
The celebration doesn’t stop there; from March 1st through the end of the month, customers can enjoy a variety of discounts on beloved local products, like 25% off Bobo's® Blueberry Fig Bars—a Boulder, Colorado favorite since 2003. Bobo's was founded by Beryl Stafford and her daughter, and now boasts a line of wholesome snacks using real ingredients.
Another featured local brand is Purely Elizabeth®, which provides 18% off its superfood gluten-free oatmeal. Founded in 2009 by holistic nutritionist Elizabeth Stein, this brand emphasizes nutritious yet flavorful products that introduce wellness without sacrificing taste.
Additionally, dog owners will appreciate the 17% discount on BIXBY® Liberty® Functional Jerky Treats, made in Boulder, ensuring that four-legged family members share in the wholesome goodness offered by local products. All of these promotions culminate in a larger initiative from Natural Grocers to focus on local producers, with over 150 Colorado brands available in their stores.
