This year's event will be held Sept. 1-4 2006. The 2006 "Thunder in the Rockies" is still in the planning stages but it will be bigger than 2005.

"Thunder in the Rockies" total attendance was 58,000 to 62,000 people of which 40% was from out of town. The sponsors announced that the economic impact from this annual event was about $14.5 million dollars.
