Central Park residents know better than anyone how to have fun.
After all, with everything Central Park has to offer, it’s no wonder existing and potential homeowners and renters choose Central Park as the place they want to live.
But they’re also eager to know about opportunities for fun, art, and culture in other neighborhoods as well.
Denver’s River North Art District, or “RiNo” neighborhood is just the ticket for a robust selection of activities to sample.
Located just seven miles from Central Park, this bourgeoning community includes an eclectic concentration of businesses in the arts industry. Visitors will find architects, art galleries, ceramicists, designers, furniture makers, illustrators, authors, wineries, microbreweries, performance artists, sculptors, photographers, and ample studio spaces there.
Living up to its artistic focus, RiNo showcases some of the District’s best during its monthly First Fridays event with galleries and independent artists displaying their creations for all to see and buy.
First Fridays is followed by a Final Friday’s event as well, which is a thoughtful collaboration of participating venues and businesses that open their doors to musicians, artists and performers. This all done to remind the world that Denver loves music, art and community as much (if not more so) than sports.
RiNo has become a culinary hub as well, with restaurants such as Comida, Park Burger, Americatus and the Walnut Room enjoys loyal followings from locals and “out-of-towners.”
There’s also the Black Shirt and the Great Divide brewing companies for craft beer lovers and Tracks Nightclub for those who wish to dance the night away on two floors and rotating theme nights. Tracks is smartly located in RiNo’s EXDO Event Center, which is home to many local and national conferences, seminars and concerts.
RiNo is also home to The Source, an artisan food market that occupies a former 1880‘s brick foundry building and features a variety of food artisans and retailers offering visitors everything from freshly baked bread and signature cocktails, to street tacos and exquisite flower arrangements.
There is simply no shortage of activities to stimulate all five senses each night of the week in RiNo. Located just 15 minutes west of Central Park.
