Denver festivals, all of them.

Festival season in Denver runs hot from June through Labor Day, and it sprawls well past the city line. This page pulls together the street fairs, music festivals, cultural celebrations, and fairs across the Metro: PrideFest on the rebuilt 16th Street, the Juneteenth Music Festival in Five Points, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival at Sloan’s Lake, and the neighborhood block parties that fill the calendar in between.

We note the dates, the footprint, whether it is free, and what actually happens there, so you can tell a 550,000-person citywide day from a one-block Saturday before you make plans. Many of the best ones land downtown around Larimer Square, Denver’s oldest block, which doubles as a venue for open-air markets and live music all summer.
