A Vibrant Culture of Year-Round Festivals, Fairs, Shopping and Art Exhibits

The national notoriety of LoHi stems from the neighborhood’s cultural offerings that feature festivals, fairs, boutique shopping and art exhibits throughout the year, bringing a lively, upbeat and energetic livelihood to the neighborhood. Every summer the streets come alive with the LoHi Music Festival, which features live music, art and local beer selections in the heart of Denver’s Lower Highlands. LoHi also is home to the Navajo Street Art District, which was Denver’s first officially designated art district more than 20 years ago. Today, this artistic haven is home to galleries, performing arts, dining and even free art events on a weekly basis throughout the year.

The Local Scene: Hip Happy Hours, Fun Coffee Treats and Delicious Downtown Dining
