Autumn
Entertainment in Colorado
Alternative ways to celebrate the season
There’s nothing like spending autumn in Colorado. The vibrant colors and crisp air inspire us to don our best sweaters and head out to tackle all the must-do activities associated with celebrating the changing of the seasons. For example, everyone knows that leaf peeping, visits to corn mazes, and sipping piping hot cider are essential to items to check off your autumn bucket list, but when you think outside of the pumpkin patch, there are so many other ways to savor the season right in your own backyard.
These unique events across Colorado will help you add spice back into your fall social schedule.
