There's no shortage of events and things to do in Golden, CO, where an Old West downtown is the backdrop for an active mountain town culture. The city's social calendar revolves around the walkable Washington Avenue corridor and the breweries that serve as post-recreation gathering spots. From seasonal street fairs to intimate theater productions, the scene reflects a community that values both its heritage and its outdoor lifestyle.

Downtown Golden's walkable core along Washington Avenue is a natural starting point, hosting the seasonal Monthly Street Fair and the weekly Golden Farmers Market.
