From culinary adventures to cultural festivities, the vibrant city of Denver is set to host a series of captivating events this week. The Mile High Asian Food Week will kick off with an exciting pop-up market featuring Asian-owned food businesses, offering visitors a chance to savor diverse cuisines while supporting local entrepreneurs.
This event aims to highlight the rich heritage tied to the ingredients used by AANHPI (Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander) communities, emphasizing their significant contribution to the city's dynamic culture. Taking place at Adobo's parking lot, the gathering known as Friends on Federal will bring together at least ten unique food vendors from Sunday evening into Monday night, creating an atmosphere of gastronomic delight and community spirit.
In addition to the culinary extravaganza, Denver will also witness the return of SeriesFest for its eleventh season, showcasing new and returning TV series through public screenings and interactive panels. This year’s edition promises engaging experiences with notable industry figures such as W. Kamau Bell and Rhea Seehorn participating in various discussions and events across multiple venues including Asterisk Denver and Sie FilmCenter.
Beyond entertainment, families can enjoy free activities during Día del Niño celebrations happening simultaneously at several locations like the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. These events provide enriching opportunities for children and adults alike to immerse themselves in art, science, music, and dance performances celebrating global cultures.
Furthermore, audiences have one last chance to experience Inheritance Kitchen—an innovative blend of theater and history—before it concludes its run this weekend. Set within Denver's historic Five Points neighborhood, this multi-sensory journey invites participants to explore stories of three families across different eras, uncovering themes of resilience, connection, and shared humanity.
Through these varied events, Denver continues to foster inclusivity and creativity, reminding us all of the power of storytelling, cultural exchange, and communal joy. By embracing diversity and supporting local initiatives, we strengthen our communities and create lasting memories that inspire future generations.
