The first National Tiny House Jamboree took place in Colorado Springs, CO on a sunny summer weekend in 2015. Tiny house builders arranged multiple 200 square foot houses in a semi-circle on an open meadow while sustainable living vendors set up around them.
Event organizers estimated that 10,000 people would come through the gates over a three day period. What actually happened blew everyone away. The 'tiny' event received an estimated 40,000 people and the city of Colorado Springs received tiny house enthusiasts from all 50 states and 7 countries.
Seemingly destined to become an annual event, the second National Tiny House Jamboree will again be held in Colorado Springs, this time hosted by one of the city’s finest institutions, the United States Air Force Academy. The National Tiny House Jamboree has partnered with the Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation to bring this premier festival to the Academy.
“We are beyond excited to be holding our tiny house festival on the beautiful grounds of The United States Air Force Academy,” said Coles Whalen, President of The National Tiny House Jamboree. “With plenty of space to display tiny homes, easy access for attendees of all ages, and a Rocky Mountain backdrop, the place and the purpose are a perfect fit.”
The National Tiny House Jamboree will feature over 50 tiny houses open for tours arranged in the parking lots of Falcon Stadium. A packed lineup of expert speakers and educational workshops featuring tiny house technical skills highlight the event. Additionally, some of the Academy’s greatest landmarks will also be open for touring including the world famous cadet chapel and Falcon Stadium which features a brand new video board with over 2,500 feet of HD video display.
“We are very excited to be partnering with a unique festival that will bring a diverse group of tiny house enthusiasts to our beautiful campus” said Nick Kiger, Associate AD, Events and Services.
