What to Do During Denver Arts Week 2026
For 10 days, Denver puts its creative side front and center. Here are three ways to get in on the art, after-hours access, and neighborhood fun. As the sun dips, Santa Fe Drive becomes one of Denver’s best places to spend a Friday night. On Nov. 6, galleries throw open their doors, and the neighborhood takes on a block-party energy, drawing serious collectors and casual wanderers alike. First Friday offers a free look at work from more than 100 artists across some 30 galleries, studios, and neighborhood spots. Duck into a gallery you’ve never visited, discover an artist you’ve never heard of, then follow the crowd down the street. There’s no prescribed route or agenda. The fun is seeing where the night takes you.

Walk Through A Restored 1880s Railroad Town At This Golden Museum Kids And Grandparents Both Love
Some family outings end with a tired toddler and a grandparent checking the clock. This one tends to end with both of them asking for one more lap around the yard. Tucked at the edge of Golden, a short drive from Denver, sits a rail yard packed with more than 100 vintage trains, a working repair shop, and volunteers who can tell a railroad story better than any textbook.
