Elitch Gardens Theme Park is a must-visit destination if you're looking for some excitement in Denver. The park is filled with the roar of roller coasters and the screams of thrilled passengers. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or not, you can always enjoy the more relaxing attractions like the Ferris wheel, carousel, or Commotion Ocean. Elitch Gardens has something for everyone, including thirteen top-notch coasters and rides. These attractions are perfect for all ages and experience levels. The park also offers pint-sized attractions for young children, such as Crazy Bus, Tike Bikes, and Balloon Race. If you're feeling hot, you can cool off with a refreshing trip down the river. You can enjoy a fun whitewater raft ride or slide into a pool of water. Either way, it's a great way to beat the heat at Elitch Gardens.

Herb's is an exceptional venue that is owned and operated by musicians. It is a place that genuinely values live music and serves some of the best cocktails in town. You can enjoy Denver's best bands and discover fantastic, untapped talent here. On some nights, you can catch live jazz, blues, and R&B performances, while on others, DJs take over. The vintage atmosphere is laid-back and unpretentious, and the bartenders are always super friendly. The drinks are solid and delicious. This place is more suited for those looking for a lively and swinging atmosphere rather than a quiet setting. Sometimes, it can get crowded with twenty-somethings looking for an alternative to the LoDo nightlife scene, but there's always a mix of fabulous people to hang out with.

Head down to the historic Larimer Square to witness over 200 artists come together to create stunning chalk art on the streets during the Denver Chalk Art Festival. This event is open to everyone, from professionals to amateurs and families with children, and it aims to showcase artistic skills while promoting the arts scene in Denver. For those not artistically inclined, there will be live music, food, drinks, wine, and local brews to enjoy while admiring the unique art. The festival features five renowned artists who are true masters of their craft, having honed their skills over decades. Their awe-inspiring pieces are worth framing, but unfortunately, the street is too large to fit into a frame. Cherry Arts and the Denver Chalk Art Festival have a long-standing collaboration, having previously worked on outreach programs.
