Coors Western Art Exhibit and Sale is not to be missed. You can see this fabulous collection of art on the third floor of the exhibit halls, which is included in your admission. 

You may have missed the Stock Show Kick Off Parade, but you can see plenty of animals, shows, rodeo events, and exhibits that are fun for the whole family!

Check the schedule and make your plans! 

Botanic Gardens-Make reservations for Blossoms of Light and stroll the grounds for a magical experience.

Brown Palace Hotel-See the eloquently decorated lobby and consider making a reservation for tea.

City and County Building-Look at this beautiful building from Civic Center Park and walk right up to the nativity scene at the entrance to the building. Also enjoy the Mile High Christmas Tree and Christkindlmarket.

Union Station-Check out the main terminal Christmas tree and sip a drink upstairs at the Cooper Lounge.

I first went to the Grizzly Rose shortly after it opened and took my first country two-step lesson there. I fell in love with country dancing, and I enjoy meeting my dance friends at “The Rose” whenever I have the opportunity. Lately, I have enjoyed learning new line dances.

Wednesday nights they offer free lessons, and Thursday ladies drink free. Their concerts are usually on Friday nights, and they have live music most nights of the week. Sunday is family night, and all ages are allowed.

The Denver Turnverein building is a Historic State Landmark listed in the State Register of Historic Properties. The building is of a distinctive Mediterranean architectural style, and the architect was George L. Boettcher. The beautiful dance hall measures approximately 4700 square feet, and in 1964, maple floors were installed in the main ballroom.

Built in 1921, the building was used for German culture, exercise, and a social club. Originally, the Turnverein was a gymnastic club. In German, “Turn” means gymnastic and “Verein” means club. It is currently a dance organization with a beautiful dance floor and offers lessons almost every night of the week.

“The Turn”, as the dancers often refer to it, offers dance lessons and social dances in five different styles: West Coast Swing, Ballroom Dancing, Argentine Tango, Country Dancing and Lindy Hop.

Located at 110 Broadway between First and Second Avenues, Denver, it was almost demolished in the 80s. Going there is an experience. (They don’t make them like they used to.) Look around at the art when you see a film there. Thank goodness this architectural gem was preserved!

Landmark Theaters has operated it since 1986. The balcony was closed and converted to two small theaters with smaller screens and the main level shows films on a large screen for a total of three different movie viewing opportunities.
