Friday Oct 3rd is First Friday! It's an art walk in the Santa Fe arts district (same area as our reception venue) from 5:30-9:30pm. Pop into galleries along Santa Fe Drive and grab drinks at nearby bars or popups inside some of the larger galleries! Parking is difficult, so go early, uber/lyft, or be prepared to walk a few blocks.
Nice historic building to stop inside if you're downtown. It has bars, coffee, ice cream, and restaurants inside and public seating area.
Sample local beer in the RINO (River North) district. Some of our favorites are Odell's, Our Mutual Friend, Bierstadt Lagerhaus, and Ratio.
