Salida Newcomers & Neighbors welcomes individuals and families (over the age of 18) who have moved to Salida and the surrounding communities within the past three years or residents who are seeking new opportunities to connect, engage, and build relationships within the community. If you are looking for a  fun, meaningful way to build friendships and become part of this vibrant mountain community, you are in the right place. 

​

As a growing organization, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for newcomers and neighbors to connect with one another, meet local community leaders, and discover all that makes Salida such a special place to call home. Through social gatherings, casual meet-and-greets, annual events, and informative programs, members can explore local resources, learn about the area’s rich culture and history, and enjoy the many recreational opportunities that define life in the Rockies.

​

Members are invited to participate in four yearly meetings, socials, and a variety of welcoming activities designed to foster connection, belonging, and community involvement. Whether you are looking to expand your social circle, learn more about your new hometown, or simply share experiences with fellow newcomers, you’ll find a warm and welcoming environment here.

​

We believe our organization will thrive as we help new residents connect with longer-term residents and discover why Salida is truly known as the town with the biggest heart in the Rockies.
