A fun, psychedelic experience for the family.
The Denver Christkindlmarket features live music, dancing, local and European craft vendors, as well as authentic fare. It’s organized by the German American Chamber of Commerce and the German Cultural Foundation. In addition to Christkindl, you’ll have a chance to see St. Nikolaus and Krampus. The marketplace consists of cozy outdoor wooden huts and a heated Festival Hall to warm up and watch the live entertainment. Both Colorado and international merchants will be in attendance. Sip on Bavarian-style beers and European coffee during your stroll around. Hot snacks include Bavarian-style pretzels, freshly smoked salmon, and homemade Goulasch.
A stroll through the Denver Botanic Gardens is a delightful way to celebrate the holiday season. The Blossoms of Light extravaganza is a twinkling and breathtaking twist on the already beautiful gardens, especially on a December evening.
Explore a whimsical half-mile loop filled with glowing grapevines, towering flowerbeds, dancing color blossoms, and other imaginative displays made of hundreds of thousands of glittering lights! While you stroll through our twinkling winter wonderland, warm up with festive drinks available for purchase at our full bar (open nightly). Don’t miss Santa, who will be at The Gardens every night, plus glow-in-the-dark performers, the Sugar Plum Furries dog troupe and other festive live entertainment on select nights
Verboten Brewing derives its name from the “forbidden” ingredients that were rejected by the German Purity Law for beer, the Reinheitsgebot. Under the purity law, beers could only be made with three ingredients: barley, water and hops. Yeast, once its fermentation properties were clearly understood, was added later. Verboten’s beers will embrace the trend of incorporating fruit and spice, barrel aging and other distinctive ingredients and processes to make our craft beers.
