Welcome to Denver

Sports, concerts, parks, and culture in Colorado’s capital

 

Colorado’s capital city features an extensive pioneer history, an abundance of museums, unparalleled scenery, dozens of entertainment options, and great public transportation. Located near the many ski resorts of the closeby the Rocky Mountains, Denver boasts some of the most beautiful real estate in Colorado from ranches to modern manors, to old-fashioned estates, and downtown penthouses. Recently named as the best place to live in the United States by U.S. News & World Report, Denver has continued to exceed expectations for both newcomers and longtime residents for years and years. 

 

Denver’s storied past includes a rich Native American and pioneer history. The Pike’s Peak Gold Rush brought settlers from the east into Denver and the city grew steadily throughout the remainder of the 19th century. Today, residents of the mile-high city enjoy access to multiple professional and semi-pro sports teams, a thriving economy, scenic mountain ranges, and a lifestyle offering the best of all worlds.

Local Lifestyle

Denver is located within a stone’s throw of some of the nation’s most beautiful scenery. The city enjoys 300 days of sunshine each year on average, with Denver summers escaping the dreaded humidity levels which some other cities suffer from. Denver is fraught with entertainment opportunities ranging from museums to botanical gardens, to breweries and professional sports teams. One weekend, locals can be seen taking in the scenery from a quiet park, and the next weekend can be spent sampling craft beers from one of the city’s several breweries then heading out to watch the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium. No matter how you like to spend your days, Denver is sure to offer something for everyone’s social preferences.

 

 

Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping

Denver’s dining scene is a varied one offering something delicious for every taste, lifestyle, and diet. After lunch, spend the afternoon shopping till you drop at one of the city’s largest shopping centers, before returning back to your home, sweet home.

 

Award-winning gourmet biscuits are the specialty of Denver Biscuit Company. These Instagrammable, “cheat day” delights come smothered in gravy, topped with fried chicken, sprinkled with bacon, and are served without limits in the mile-high city. 

 

For something a bit healthier, Vital Root is one of Denver’s more popular vegan eateries. This colorful spot boasting two patios has definitively proven vegan food doesn't have to be bland or boring. An internationally inspired menu of pad Thai, Korean-style barbecue wings, miso ramen, and banh mi tacos are colorful, packed with flavor, and cater to a new dietary style that has gained popularity in recent years.

 

Cherry Creek Shopping Center is Denver’s premier shopping destination, home to over 160 shops and restaurants. Some of the more well-known brands consist of Apple, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Restoration Hardware, Tesla, and many others. Throughout the year, Cherry Creek also hosts a number of events like group fitness classes and farmers’ markets.  

 

 

Things To Do

Each, the most perfect celebration of chocolate takes place at the Colorado Chocolate Festival. A traveling celebration features Denver as the flagship stop on the tour. Thousands of samples of candies, desserts, cocktails, and more are waiting to be discovered at this multi-award-winning event. Large-scale immersive art is experienced at Meow Wolf. Meow Wolf attendees are transcended across space and time to imaginative universes where they can view music, art, streaming content, and other vibrantly colorful mediums. On a more regular basis throughout the year, the Red Rocks Amphitheatre hosts concerts and other live performances with seating for over 9,500 attendees. Some previous performances have included Ice Cube, John Mulaney, Ludacris, and many other famous names.

Denver children are afforded access to some of the most prestigious schools in the state, such as: 

 

  • Denver Language School, kindergarten-8th grade; DLS is the Denver area’s only total immersion language school
  • Kent Denver School, grades 6-12; the best private school in the state also boasts the best STEM program in the state and a very low student-teacher ratio of 8:1
