Social Events

We are launching our first ever Pie Social, and Denver’s most social girl, Cora Vette is hosting and making great music, too. Come enjoy one of the great lost traditions of small town America: the pie social. Our friends at Whole Foods Market are bringin’ the pie, so you know it’s gonna be good eats. Pie is served at 2 p.m. and Cora Vette and the Vinyl Tops take the stage at 2:30 p.m. Fun for all ages! We’ll be meeting on the Acoma Plaza for this fun community event, and in the case of inclement weather, we’ll move to our B2 Conference Center. All free, but registration is encouraged.

Fresh City Life is pitching in to help our friends at Whole Foods Market Denver put on a big show. This street fair is a wonderful opportunity to "get out amongst 'em." Enjoy samples from over 20 local Colorado vendors, drink specials and live music by Casey Prestwood and the Burning Angels. Fresh City Life will be on hand with a fun booth of step up crafts – including a cool coaster to set your drink on! Co-sponsored by Denver Beer Co. Bring a canned food item to donate to Metro Care Ring and receive $1 off your first beer.
