Things to do in Denver - Labor Day Weekend 2014

 

 

Taste of ColoradoThe Labor Day weekend is right around the corner and that means the Taste of Colorado will be held at Civic Center Park in downtown Denver.    There is a full weekend planned packed with great food, arts and crafts and a variety of music.    FREE Entry!


FOOD:    You will find  Cajun, German, Greek, Caribbean, French, Middle Eastern, South American, Asian, Indian, Mexican and many types of desserts.     There are over 50 restaurants featured and offer portions to full meals.   You will be able to buy tickets to purchase food.   See all the choices here.

 



MUSIC:   Music is scheduled over this 3-day weekend ranging from smooth jazz to rock n roll on 5 stages throughout the park.    Some big names scheduled are Commodores, Wallflowers and Creedence Clearwater Revisited and many local bands to name a few.     See the full schedule here.    All FREE!

 



ARTS & CRAFTS:   Booths filled with clothing, jewelry, fine art and one-of-a-kind crafts will be displayed throughout the park.    If you are looking for unique Christmas gifts, this may be the place!

      Saturday & Sunday - 10:30 am to 10 pm

It is advised to ride the bus, take light rail or ride your bike (if you don't have one - try the B-Cycle with stations very close to Civic Center Park) into this area, as parking will be at a premium.   Streets around the park will be closed during the weekend, see this map.
