🥞 58th Annual Kiwanis Pancake Day & Funfest 🎉

Join us for one of Grand Junction’s most beloved traditions—the 58th Annual Kiwanis Pancake Day & Funfest hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Grand Junction!

Bring the whole family and enjoy a day filled with fluffy pancakes, live music, games, and interactive booths just for kids. It’s more than just a fun event—it’s a chance to come together as a community and make a meaningful impact.

Every dollar raised goes right back into Mesa County nonprofits that support and uplift local children, helping provide opportunities, resources, and brighter futures for the next generation.

This event proudly reflects the mission of Kiwanis International: “to improve the world one child and one community at a time.” Through service, connection, and generosity, we’re working together to make a lasting difference—right here at home.

Come hungry. Leave inspired. And help us continue a 58-year tradition of giving back.
