Tents and a crowd at golden hour from above, the Denver skyline on the horizon.

Host a day.

A beer fest, a bluegrass stage and a maker market, in one place for one Saturday. Since 2014 it has set up in a RiNo park, the old Denver Post plant in Globeville, a Littleton park, Stanley Marketplace, the 16th Street Mall, the base of Winter Park Resort, two blocks of Larimer Street and the lot at Belleview Station.

The day.

Beer fest days pour unlimited samples from 20+ Colorado breweries, cideries and distilleries, with food trucks and a full day of live bluegrass on the stage. Thousands of local makers have sold at the market since 2014. Dogs welcome.

A few big days a year. Each one takes a lot, a park, a street that can close or a base area, and a host that wants it there.
