OUR BEVERLY HILLS IS HAVING A PARTY!

I remember the first quote I ever read before moving to Denver about Cherry Creek North was “the Beverly Hills of Denver” I am not too sure about that. 

I think that statement is a little over the top. Certainly the neighborhood is beautiful. It has a concentration of great cafes, restaurants with very respectable reputation and houses an important number of the world best known stores like Tiffany &Co, Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus and more. It is an appealing neighborhood with new condos and Victorian gated communities that ooze abundance at every corner.

However, I actually think that the vibe in Cherry Creek North is way more loose than Beverly Hills. 

The concentration of shopping in this particular area of the city is grandiose, however, there are more activities than that. The area offers the 22-mile Cherry Creek Bike path connecting Downtown and beyond, enticing hundreds of people, especially during the warmer months, to enjoy a run or a bike ride. A great number of Tennis Courts and Art galleries, make this central vicinity a convenient treasure.

My favorite part about this 16th blocks of fabulousness is actually the fact that they organize one of the most opulent Arts Festival in town. The Cherry Creek Arts Festival.

Every year around the 4th of July weekend Cherry creek North welcomes approximately 260 artists from the US and the world to present their art to the Denver community in this 3 days feast. The election to participated in this festival is a very arduous process were the artist has to submit his work to a highly qualified panel of jurors. Only the best people representing different disciplines are chosen to be part of the exhibition.

So take advantage of this unique opportunity to enjoy the best art in the country, buy art and support amazing artists, while getting delight with fantastic food and live performers.
