The brand is celebrating life's greatest adventure by helping long-time fans tie the knot in honor of its 35^th birthday

ROCKFORD, Mich., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chaco, the outdoor footwear brand born on the river and renowned for its performance sandals, announced it is inviting 35 couples to get married or renew their vows at the first-ever Chaco Wedding this summer as part of its 35^th birthday celebrations.

The Chaco Wedding will be held Sunday, June 30, from 3 to 8 p.m. MDT at The Mishawaka in Bellvue, Colo., nestled on the banks of the scenic Poudre River. Couples can RSVP for an elopement or vow renewal time slot now. Spaces are limited and early registration is encouraged.

"We receive hundreds of wedding invites each year and are tagged in countless photos of Chaco Nation getting married in their sandals, so we are inviting everyone to come celebrate and tie the knot with us," said Chaco Senior Brand Director Jon Golub. "Chaco sandals are known for a lifetime of memories, so we're giving back by helping to be the start of a lifetime of memories. You invited us, and now we're inviting you."

There will be two group elopement style ceremonies at 5 and 7 p.m.

The Chaco Wedding experience will offer:

Elopements ceremonies
Vow renewals
Custom wedding sandals for purchase
Open-house style reception
Live music
Surprise and delight moments

The Mishawaka provides a picturesque backdrop for the unique celebration – a nod to Chaco's history born on the river in 1989 in Paonia, Colo. Couples will exchange vows overlooking the river, with the sounds of nature providing the soundtrack to their special day.

"What is better than getting married in your Chacos? Getting married with others getting married in their Chacos," said Golub.

The wedding is part of the fourth annual Chaco Tour and the brand's Chaco For Life 35^th birthday celebration. The heart of the brand's birthday is celebrating life moments that bring excitement and evoke heart-pounding, tangible feelings of aliveness – like weddings.

The Mishawaka Amphitheater is a 1,000-person outdoor venue next to the Poudre River. It has become home to some of the most memorable musical experiences that Colorado has to offer and has showcased some of the greatest talent in the country.
