- The People’s Building, Aurora
Competitive yo-yo is a real subculture with its own tricks, divisions, and traveling regulars, and the Mile High YoYo Contest is where Colorado’s players gather to throw for a crowd. The People’s Building in Aurora hosts the day, which is exactly the kind of odd, specific thing worth knowing about.
It runs August 23, 2026. Spectators are welcome alongside the competitors; check the venue calendar for the schedule of divisions.
