Cheesman Park Art Fest

One fabulous aspect of living in Golden is easy access to the city of Denver while coming home to a quiet suburb. If you enjoy driving into Denver for weekend events, this weekend, view works of art from around the nation at Denver's historic Cheesman Park.  If you are in search of something to do that involves arts and the outdoors, look no further - this weekend the park will host the 3rd Annual Cheesman Park Art Festival! Art, food and fun converge into one location on July 25 and 26.

More than 100 juried artists and merchants from throughout the country will converge upon Capital Hill's, and our neighborhood's own, Cheesman Park this weekend for the festival. Guests will encounter any and all types of art imaginable, including pottery, jewelry, glass art, paintings and more. The two-day, outdoor show will take place along the park's tree-lined greenscape, off of 8th Ave. Hours for the festival are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. 

Complementing the artistic atmosphere will be local musicians, food trucks, demonstrations and kid's activities. Participating food trucks include: El Toro the Tot, Tacos La Tapatia, Deer Creek Pizza, Cilantro Truck and more. Visitors are encouraged to take public transportation, walk, or bike to the event. However, since you will likely be traveling by car to the event, parking will be available along 8th Ave. The drive from your future home at Outlook Golden Ridge to Cheesman Park is only 30 minutes! What's even better? This event is free to attend! 

One important (non) factor is the weather - the forecast looks mostly sunny for the weekend with temperatures in upper 80s! Walk over to the festival, cool off with some ice cream, and take a look at the works of art! If you wanted to make a day out of the event, pack up a picnic basket or blanket to lay out and enjoy the scenery before or after the festival. Sounds like a pretty perfect day trip, doesn't it?

It's close to home, it's free and it's fun - what else could you want from a local event? Visit the park this weekend and enjoy all that Cheesman Park Art Fest has to offer!
