Spend Fall in the Mile High City

Fall is one of the best times to experience Denver. While golden cottonwoods frame city parks and neighborhoods, warm afternoons make it easy to spend the day outdoors before settling into cozy restaurants, catching a game or heading west for an aspen-filled drive. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a couples getaway, a solo trip or a weekend with friends, autumn brings together the best of the city in one colorful season.

Autumn Arts, Music and Culture

As fall settles into Denver, the city’s stages, galleries and museums give you plenty of reasons to head indoors after a crisp afternoon outside. Catch live music at the Denver Performing Arts Complex or settle in for a show at a smaller music venue. Make time for must-see museum exhibitions and theater performances that fill Denver’s fall calendar.
