Leadville Boom Days 2025 official belt buckles featuring the Hagerman Pass Trestle and Schenectady Locomotive (1887)

Designed by local artist Bill Harrington.

Each year the Boom Days Committee chooses a different design related to Leadville’s history. The first Boom Days blet buckles was produced in 1976 and featured an ore car outside a mine portal designed by Sylvia Stoner, a local art teacher. A display of the entire collection will be located at the Boom Days hospitality tent during Boom Days weekend.

Two styles of the buckle are available. Light finish buckles with a number stamped on the back are $50 each, 200 numbered buckles are produced each year. Number 1 and Number 100 will be auctioned off following the Boom Days Parade. Dark finish buckles are not numbered and are $45 each.

Buckles will are available for purchase at Pueblo Bank & Trust, First Mountain Bank and Community Banks of Colorado in Leadville. Buckles will be available for purchase during Boom Days weekend at the Hospitality Tent between west 5th & 6th streets on Harrison Ave, behind the announcer stand.
