An Epic Speakeasy-Style Celebration Elevated by a Tintype Photobooth

The Rocky Mountain Craft Spirits Festival 2025 returned to the Estes Park Events Complex with a Prohibition-era speakeasy atmosphere like no other. Held on November 1, 2025, this immersive festival brought together craft spirits lovers from across Colorado to sample and celebrate locally made whiskey, gin, vodka, and more—all within a vibrant, vintage-inspired setting.

From 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, attendees enjoyed tastings from more than 40 Colorado distilleries and vendors, swirling flavorful spirits in souvenir tasting glasses while jazz and swing music filled the air.

Speakeasy Style & Vintage Fun

Styled like a large, 1920s speakeasy, the festival transported guests back in time with its roaring ambiance and immersive design. This made it the perfect backdrop for something truly special—our tintype photobooth.

The tintype photobooth experience took the festival to the next level. As guests dressed and mingled in the speakeasy setting, many chose to step in front of our vintage camera to capture an epic, handcrafted portrait. These unique physical photos offered a keepsake that matched the event’s timeless energy—far beyond what a traditional digital photo could provide.
