Eighteen Reasons to Visit Arvada
Yes, 18! That’s a lot of reasons. And to be honest, we think there are probably a lot more, too. But this weekend – July 11-14 – is looking like one heckuva of good time to be in Arvada!
Before you start to talk yourself out of it because you think there is nowhere to stay, we have TWO great hotels that would love to host you for a big, fun weekend in Arvada! That’s at least two reasons to stay, right there!
Insider tip: Check out the self-guided Olde Town Arvada Walking Tour to get yourself acquainted with all things historical and everything else that makes Arvada so unique!
Next, why not get a jump on the weekend with the Taste of Arvada on Thursday, July 11? This annual event showcases local eateries and breweries. There will also be plenty of live music, art vendors, and more. If you’ve considered visiting Arvada, there’s your fourth good reason! Taste of Arvada tickets must be purchased in advance – they will not be sold at the door – so get yours today!
If the live music has caught your attention, you’re in luck. We’ve got two concerts ready to fill your Thursday night. Enjoy Apex’s Thursday Night Summer Concert Series at McIlvoy Park and/or the Hyland Hills Summer Concert Series at Clear Creek Valley Park. The Apex concert features Izzy and the IceBreakers playing classic and country rock like Chris Stapleton, The Eagles, ZZ Top and more.
The Hyland Hills Summer Concert Series is Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts, which is perfect if you are looking for a critically acclaimed country band that does not disappoint live.
Still not convinced? How about more live music on Friday, July 12?
Start with Live Music at the TRN in Olde Town. You can enjoy live music on the patio every Friday and Saturday night at the TRN. And, if that doesn’t make your night, you can still play some golf! That’s what we call a win/win. And reason number eight, if you’re counting.
On Saturday, we bet we can keep you busy—and possibly double-booked—all day. Start your day with FREE Yoga in the Park in Olde Town Arvada or a Paddleboard/Kayak Tour at Standley Lake. If you’re more of a cyclist, join Bike Friendly Arvada on their Brewery Ride, starting and ending at the Colorado Tap House.
