Living in Denver ~ A Taste of Colorado ~ An Annual Labor Day Tradition
Aug 25th, 2007 by Steve Scheer
Labor Day Weekend in Denver - A Taste of Colorado
Summer in Denver is coming to an end, and a traditional family favorite here in Denver has always been A Taste of Colorado. Music fills many stages and the range of restaurants that participate in the festival is huge. The festival takes places in downtown Denver in Civic Center Park from Friday August 31st through Monday September 3rd. The hours can be found here.
The extensive music line up includes the BoDeans - but besides that there are about 30 acts throughout the weekend. Remember Night Ranger? They'll be there. Survivor? They'll be there too.
Some of my favorite restaurants participating include:
- Caldonia's BBQ (Way back when, I lived just behind Caldonia's so its a long time favorite)
- The Broker
- Imperial Chinese Seafood Restaurant
- La Familia Mexican Steakhouse
- The Old Blinking Light
- Panzano
- Paradise Bakery
- Trail Dust Steakhouse
- Wild Ginger
There will also be a kids area with fun activities for the whole family. We tend to head down on Sunday afternoon. Many streets in the vicinity are closed, so plan ahead as to where you are going to park. Or better take the light rail.
