1. Pumpkin Festival at Chatfield Farms: Because What’s Fall Without a 10-Acre Pumpkin Patch?

Fall wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Chatfield Farms for the annual Pumpkin Festival. Sure, you could buy your pumpkin at a grocery store, but where’s the fun in that? This weekend, head out to the 10-acre patch, pick the perfect gourd, and enjoy hayrides, games, and food vendors. It’s basically autumn on steroids, minus the leaf-peeping traffic.

2. Civic Center EATS: Where Your Favorite Food Trucks Come to Play

Forget boring sandwiches for lunch—Civic Center EATS is where you’ll find Denver’s best food trucks, all in one place. Running from May to mid-October, this event is winding down, so if you haven’t stuffed your face with food truck tacos, now’s your chance. It’s practically a public service at this point.
