Ciao Cara! If you find yourself craving a little Italian food, music or wares, bring your…read more"appetito per la pizza e pizelle". Plenty of vendors for that as festval goers have options to enjoy a slice of Italian Pie. Shop local businesses here as they share their creativity and artistry, be it with clothing or empty wine bottles. Best part is the time of year so take a stroll on Alaska and enjoy all the festival offers. Colorado is "in its season", so grab a bite and park yourself in front of the music stage (the event showcases local talent with two band stages), then watch the local troop "throw flags" at closing ceremonies. Bella!

Gigantic rice crispy treats, authentic Italian desserts, the olive oils are a must buy as well is the farmers market! Sausage and peppers are my favorite foods to sample and the strawberries and cheesecake on a stick is to die for! Make sure you bring tons of cash for the food samples, games for kids, drinks and gifts! For a family of four we bring $200 but that buys us each food, drinks, face painting, a bottle of wine, olive oil and veggies from the farmers market! Make sure to list this as a must for September! Bel-Mar is also such a beautiful area and the shops are fantastic as well

UPDATE! Having been…read moreto the Denver Brew Fest (both summer and winter sessions) MANY times over the years; I can def say, "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" + SPACE: Mile High Station is a great venue for this Fest! It def embodies Colorado. It's a turn of the century steel and ironworks building that has been repurposed into and event space! Love the character. The only drawback here is the parking! The lot is super small. If you have a light-rail station near you I'd say take that to Mile High Stadium and walk over from there. It's not even a ten minute walk. + BREWERS: The line up is always fantastic! Obvs Colorado breweries dominate the show, but there's plenty of others in attendance too! Over the years I have even seen brewers from my hometown in Northern California in attendance. Colorado breweries often include names such as: Denver Beer Co, Stem Ciders, Crooked Stave, Grist, Wild Cider, Ratio Beerworks, Verboten, Weldworks, Strange Craft, Little Machine, Pikes Peak, Oscar Blues, and sooo many more. + FOOD TRUCKS: My personal favorite has been on-site for each Fest to date. Basic Kneads. It's pizza done awesome. Plus The Goods is usually on hand serving up some excellent smoked and grilled meats. Turkey leg anyone? + ENTERTAINMENT: There's a live band for each evening. This year featured Nevermind the 90's and Super Doppler. Usually the band is set up on a stage outside or in a tent area outside (depending on weather). They have speakers set up all around to ensure you can hear the tune regardless of where you are in the venue. + PRICE: At only $35 for general admission and $45 for VIP, I can safely say this is one of the cheapest Fests out there. But don't let the cheap cost fool you. They really deliver! A suggestion I would have for the future would be a two day pass offering. For those who want to check out both days of festivities. The proceeds from Denver Brew Fest support Swallow Hill Music. I know that I will continue to be a patron of the Denver Brew Fest in the years to come! Most def can't wait for the next Fest! Cheers! **Pro Tip: I HIGHLY recommend buying the VIP tickets. Why? 1) You get an extra hour to enjoy even more brews. 2) Less people during the VIP hour. 3) Special tappings are often offered by the brewers. Go ahead. Treat yo' self, you VIP you!

Here you will mingle with like minded folks who loves beer. Merchants who worked all their lives with beers and perfected such incredible varietals that finding faults in anyone of the samples offered there is difficult. My initial try was a freak of a good luck. It was a sour! That started my night in a good note. There was a "map" of the breweries that was present. I say it's enough to keep me and my friend happy and all our curiosity about a few of the breweries were met. Here you'll be able to talk to the person responsible for the creation of the brew or someone who knows the history of the brew. This two story location can host a bunch of beer loving fun people. The food was hosted in a separate space past the tented area where the live entertainment is located. I had their amazing kielbasa and I'm regretting not asking for the lady's info :( This event has a two tiered ticket pricing. One for the VIP at a discounted rate of $45 if you purchase in advance. $55 at the door the day of. The VIP lets you in an hour early from 6-7. General admission starts at 7pm and will set you back $35 advance purchase and $45 day of. Tip: CASH ONLY AT THE DOOR. Free coat check. Your tix is only good for one day. Want to show up both days? Pay twice! Looking forward to next years? Me tooooo!

It is in its 14th year and takes place in the parking lot of the St Joseph Polish school/church in Northwest Denver, whose building was built in 1902 and is on the national register of historic places.

I was fortunate enough to volunteer for the Friday night food and wine pairing event and I was so impressed with everyone involved. The venue was the perfect size, there were plenty of wines and and fabulous foods to taste and every was pleasant and having a great time. On the evening I was there it was not oversold as so many events can be, and I almost hate sharing this gem event because you'll want to go next year, lol. Sharon the coordinator that got me all setup in the wine pouring was super marvelous and shared so much wine expertise with me that just based on her happy to be there personality I'd go again. They had vendors showing jewelry and specialty knives and other great gifts and treasures as well, that is what makes this event more then just a drinking experience! Remember this event Coloradans for next year! It's a great event, and priced accordingly for what it offers!

I was so excited about reading about the fetish ball and how it was their 16th annual last night…read more My husband bought a Groupon for a male ticket, female ticket, and bondage gift. It was also supposed to start at 7p per our Groupon. We showed up at 730p and they told us that only VIPs were allowed in at 7p and that we couldn't get in until 9p. Well, we showed them the Groupon and they let us in. When we got in, we realized that they just opened and nothing was set up. The dancers didn't start on the stage til 8 something and performers were still trickling in. If I had paid for VIP, I would have been disappointed since they were still trying to figure out the night. Most of the entertainment was in their After Dark area, but it was so divided and crammed that it wasn't really worth watching the acts upstairs. I felt that the other stages upstairs in After Dark were thrown in a corner. The downstairs in Diamond Cabaret were 1 stage of performers and 3 stages for their normal dancers. The headliner for the event who was supposed to be a world renowned fetish model was on stage for maybe 3 min. Her act consisted of sitting on a chair, removing her shoes and stockings, putting on ankle bondage cuffs, removing her bra and skirt, putting on wrist bondage cuffs and a blindfold, then being escorted off the stage but a not so pretty drag queen. They also installed a small dance floor in between the stages. Normal tickets were $39 for damsels and $79 for dukes. I felt like it was a glorified costume party at a strip club. Highly disappointed especially considering the prices to get in. My husband and I left before midnight because it was just a let down. Entrance to After Dark was an additional price at $20/person.

It was very understaffed, the VIP section was small and the main area more interesting but the table we purchased was in the VIP area so not much we could do besides abandon the table we paid for. the music was not fitting for the event besides, the live band that played for maybe an hour max that was good. the balloon drop that was supposed to happen at midnight that everybody was waiting for never happened. a staff member had to pull over the mermaid and manually climb up there to drop the balloon nets one by one. The selfie with the light broke as we were waiting in line for it. just overall way too expensive for the experience, which was very college like considering how expensive the tickets tables and drinks were.
