Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Gertie Harris and Connor Holmes
There are so many cool places that make Denver special, and we’re excited to play quasi–tour guides for the weekend. To help you make the most of your trip, we’ve rounded up a list of our favorite restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and music venues. We also wanted to call out that Denver will be hosting the Great American Beer Festival from Oct 9 - 11, which means there will be tons of brewery pop-ups in RiNo in addition to convention center activities. Paul McCartney was also just announced for Saturday, Oct 11 at Coors Field (2 blocks from The Maven) for those interested!
