June 25th & 26th
Stockyards Event Center
Do you like Tacos, Tequila, and live music? Denver’s taco fest is back and better than ever with 2 days of Lucha Libre Wrestling, Chihuahua Racing, and enough tacos to fill a ten-gallon hat. Catch the Avant-Garde team at the bar serving ice-cold libations to accompany your taco feast.
July 16th
South Green (29th Ave & Roslyn St)
Get a taste of Colorado’s beer scene with an afternoon of craft breweries, local food, and live music. This festival sells out every year and is shaping up to be a roaring good time. Reach out to the Avant-Garde team if you are interested in being a vendor for this event.
July 16th & 17th
Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms
Wander through more than 2,000 lavender plants with your family, then see how vendors use this fragrant plant in locally made products. But that’s not all!
