Welcome to Celebrate Culture: Denver’s fun and upbeat Cinco de Mayo festival. While attending the full weekend of festivities in the city’s Civic Center Park, you’ll find vendors selling everything from authentic street food to beautiful handcrafted goods and Mexican folk art. Similar to the celebrations in Puebla, Denver’s Cinco de Mayo is great for families and kids: there’s a children’s carnival with crafts and activities, rides, and even a small petting zoo. Keep an eye (or ear) out for the two entertainment venues set up with live bands playing mariachi, salsa, cumbia, and other popular Latin music genres—and def don’t forget your dancing shoes! If you only have time for one or two activities, we recommend that you hit the Green Chili Bowl Cookoff, featuring local restaurants, and the famous Denver Chihuahua races.

Located in the heart of Denver, near the bustling neighborhood of RiNo (River North), this weed-friendly loft is an excellent option for travelers looking for bud and breakfast type lodging. This spacious loft is roomy enough for a group of friends ready to explore the heart of American weed tourism. Denver doesn’t allow consumption at dispensaries, so 420-friendly hotels are a must-book for visitors who are looking to partake in the city’s famed marijuana culture. This luxury 420-friendly loft has the perfect smoking spot, a rooftop deck complete with downtown views, and a hot tub.
