Ciao Cara! If you find yourself craving a little Italian food, music or wares, bring your…read more"appetito per la pizza e pizelle". Plenty of vendors for that as festval goers have options to enjoy a slice of Italian Pie. Shop local businesses here as they share their creativity and artistry, be it with clothing or empty wine bottles. Best part is the time of year so take a stroll on Alaska and enjoy all the festival offers. Colorado is "in its season", so grab a bite and park yourself in front of the music stage (the event showcases local talent with two band stages), then watch the local troop "throw flags" at closing ceremonies. Bella!

Gigantic rice crispy treats, authentic Italian desserts, the olive oils are a must buy as well is the farmers market! Sausage and peppers are my favorite foods to sample and the strawberries and cheesecake on a stick is to die for! Make sure you bring tons of cash for the food samples, games for kids, drinks and gifts! For a family of four we bring $200 but that buys us each food, drinks, face painting, a bottle of wine, olive oil and veggies from the farmers market! Make sure to list this as a must for September! Bel-Mar is also such a beautiful area and the shops are fantastic as well

I had the chance to attend the14th annual Longmont Jazz Festival a few weeks back, put on by the…read moreLongmont Jazz Association. The event takes place under the pavilion in Roosevelt Park and this year was expanded to be a three day event. With a couple of nights of performances at the Dickens Opera House. So the L.J.F. isn't a destination event, meaning that people from all over the country come to Longmont for. But it is still deserving of the attention of any and everyone that loves jazz here in Colorado or is into supporting the local arts scene. LJF is a free event which is great. They have lots of local jazz, Latin jazz and salsa acts from the metro area. This year it was great to see some groups play that I've been wanting to see, like the Adam Bodine Trio, Quemando, the Longmont All Star Jazz Band, etc. Two artists whom I seen perform before t other festivals, Bob Montgomery and Eric Gunnison are always a treat to hear perform and were both excellent at the Longmont Jazz Festival. So this event in my opinion will only continue to grow year after year and I hope that you as well as others will be a part of it by attending. Looking forward to being there again next year!

This year was my first time attending the RMSHC specialty, and it was held at the Al Lesser building. The grounds themselves were clean and beautiful. There was construction going on as well, but we never had an issue getting to our show site. The building was spacious, and there was even a microwave for me to reheat leftovers. Chairs were provided, and were quite comfy. Parking was plentiful, and there was a gorgeous lake for those who wished to take their dogs on a nice scenic walk. There were plenty of spots for photo ops as well! At the end of our specialty weekend, we made sure to pick up after ourselves and swept the whole building clean. As those involved in the longevity/breed preservation of well-bred purebred dogs, we were conscientious to present our best foot forward and leave no room for complaints. This was honestly such a wonderful venue, and I liked it much better than some of the fairgrounds that I've shown at in my home state of CA. I did hear that they would be raising their rates for renting the building, unfortunately, which is happening across so many venues these days. Hopefully we can return to show here again in 2028, but we shall have to wait and see.

Wasn't a fit for us. We arrived at 10:30 am, having read on the website that the inside exhibits…read morewould be open at 10 am. We were able to look at entered paintings and quilts. What was off to me so that the pieces were not named and didn't have a blurb about their background which I've seen at other fairs. It's nice to have a little background to what inspired the artist. The larger exhibit room with 4H didn't open until noon, despite the website's posting of 10 am. The other exhibit hall had some exhibitors like a local bee club but several of those exhibits were unstaffed like the disaster response table. The bee club was hopping and interesting. Food wasn't really available, maybe one place. Customer service booth wasn't staffed at 11:30 a.m. when we left. Plenty of parking. Website said we had to pay but we didn't but maybe we were really early.

Denver Flea is taking on the holidays four weekends strong this year, with a Union Station setup…read moreuntil mid-December. $5 per person gets you admission Friday-Sunday, which is a very easy price point. Even if it's not the most expansive showing of vendors, you can't really argue with the low cost. Also, I appreciate the warming tents serving adult beverages like bourbon spiked cider. Even on a "warm" December day downtown, it gets chilly. If you arrive before noon, there's plenty of room to relax and enjoy mid-shopping moment. Yesterday I purchased some buffalo leather gloves for myself as well as an incense burning kit + 2019 lunar calendar for a holiday present. And I'm going back for the final weekend while my parents are visiting. A festive (and brisk) way to get into the holiday spirit!

The Denver Flea was fabulous (and free admission!) when I first attended a couple of years ago…read more There were loads of interesting vendors with items I'd never seen anywhere else, live music, good food, busy but not overwhelming and loads of fun! Now the secret's out and the Flea busts at the seams. There's an admission fee, long lines, and impossible parking. Vendors and food trucks become redundant in that the same ones come to every Flea, and many carry similar goods- candles and soaps: CHECK. Colorado/Outdoorsy t-shirts: CHECK. Salsa and similar food items: CHECK. Jewelry made from rocks: CHECK. Succulent plants: CHECK. A Denver hipster's delight for sure! All of the his is super cool if you haven't seen all the very same makers before, but I have, so... I'm over it. The new space, Denver Rock and Drill, is pretty rad. It's an old warehouse that feels haunted by ghosts of the past. Old machinery and even metal and materials still lurk in some places, a liability issue waiting to happen I'm sure, but interesting none the less. My fave part about this Flea was the photo booth, Whoa Pony! Be sure to hunt them down as they wee wedged far in the corner, but they're free! Ultimately, I think I'll skip the next few fleas in hopes that fresh vendors and some new ideas and surprises may work their way in in the future.

With tons of food trucks, local vendors, breweries, and live bluegrass - it was not to be missed. I opted to pick up the beerfest ticket to go with my admission. This installment of Oktobergrass scattered the breweries present throughout the market. I actually liked this more than I anticipated. It made it much easier to meander and browse the vendors; while refilling my commemorative taster glass along the way. Love it! The breweries present included names like: Breckenridge Brewery, 14er Brewing Company, Cerebral Brewing Company, Aspen Brewing Company, and Oscar Blues Brewing - to name a few. The breweries even had a few special tappings for 4 pm! Tons of different vendors were present. Clothes, accessories, pet products, food, and so much more! I had a so much fun browsing the booths. I almost left with some great creative art pieces from Two little Fruits, a succulent, a fanny-pack from B Fresh (it was so retro and awesome), and some clever cozy shirts. I had to dial back my excitement; mostly for my wallets sake. Ha! Some of the best food trucks were present to help satisfy those hungry tummies. I chose to nosh on some tasty eats from Little India. Seriously one of my favorite Indian food trucks! Their chicken tikka masala is the BEST! There were other trucks serving up tacos, hots dogs, arepas, and many more! Live music was provided my Coal Town Reunion during my visit. They were awesome! The space in front of the stage was set up to dance, play some cornhole, giant jenga, or just kick back and take it all in. There was a large bar set up serving various Modelo products or a specialty Moscow Mule made with GB Picketts ginger beer syrups. Seriously amazing. They even have a spicy ginger beer. So good! Thanks Yelp Denver for the ticket hook-up and thanks to TheBigWonderful for a great way to spend my Saturday afternoon!!

I had never been to the Denver Chalk Art Festival and was really glad my friends convinced me to…read moreattend. We went early on day one to try to avoid crowds and the 90+ degree heat. Armed with a charged phone, a hat, water, and plenty of sunscreen, we were ready. Crowds weren't too bad at 10am, and several artists were lucky to be either shaded by the tall buildings or by the tents they brought. Being this early, we got to see works in progress, and I appreciated seeing all the detailed labor that goes into these beautiful, colorful, sadly temporary pieces. A free event, it is worth making the trip downtown. There are food and drink vendors throughout, as well as popular restaurants and bars nearby to pop into if you need a break. (The 2026 Event was near the Denver Art Museum.)

This is a quintessential cultural event must-do for anyone in Denver. Started over 20 years ago,…read morethis annual gathering has become a fan favorite for people who love art and Denver festival celebrations. What started in downtown at Larimer Square with dozens of artists has now become over two hundred talents chalking it up over several blocks around the Denver Art Museum. The way this festival works is sponsor-driven. Local businesses and organizations buy "squares" to which carefully curated artists are assigned with full autonomy in theme and execution to create, as long as the sponsors' names are chalked first. The artists are then given two days to create their design in real time, rain or shine. It's an opportunity to witness visual art in all shapes and colors. With the youth group and school opportunities as well, you've got kids of all ages being represented on the pavement. In addition to the visual arts, the festival includes live music and vendors. I strongly recommend planning your weekend around it. This is an event to build a tradition around, for sure!

Find Sweet Jaynes Sunday mornings at the South Pearl Street Farmers' Market are a true celebration…read moreof Colorado's local bounty. Open every Sunday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, from early May through mid-November, this beloved market stretches along the 1400 and 1500 blocks of South Pearl Street and brings together more than 170 local vendors. With a strict regional commitment requiring all products to be grown, raised, or produced in Colorado or bordering counties, every visit feels rooted in community and authenticity. From seasonal organic peaches, apples, and cherries to fresh vegetables, roasted green chiles, artisanal breads, pantry staples, and handcrafted goods, the market offers something exceptional in every aisle. Visitors can also enjoy a wide variety of prepared foods, including breakfast burritos, dumplings, pupusas, crepes, and locally crafted coffee, making it just as much a dining destination as a farmers' market. Whether you come for the produce, the pastries, the flowers, or the handmade treasures, South Pearl Street Farmers' Market is a vibrant Sunday tradition worth experiencing.
