September is Beer Month in Denver. Let me repeat: September is Beer Month in Denver. It’s also Septemberg (more on that below), a month to help put an end to childhood hunger, and a month to get smarter, thanks to Denver Startup Week. It seems there’s always something interesting to do in Denver these days, and September is (thankfully!) no different. While there's not a beer-specific event listed below, you can drink a beer at each and every one of our This Month in Denver picks!
Denver Flea Fall Flea
Just like its namesake city, the Denver Flea is growing up. Now on their sixth event, the Denver Flea aims to change the way people think of a flea market by bringing unique vendors together to generate an enjoyable retail experience for shoppers. If you’re in the market for home goods, fashion, cottage crafts, or fancy foods, get yourself over to the Sculpture Park (home of “The Dancers,” AKA the dancing aliens) and support local makers! Did we mention that one of our favorite clients, HW Home, is a sponsor this year? Stop by their booth and tell them we sent you.
What: Denver Flea No. 6
When: 12-7 p.m., Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13
Where: DCPA Sculpture Park, 1345 Champa St. (Speer and Champa)
