Arvada sits to the west of Denver and is an easy commute via I-70. The newly reinvigorated Olde Town Arvada hosts First Friday Art Walks, a summer Farmers’ Market, Flicks in the Square on Fridays in August, as well as fun yearly holiday events like the St. Patrick’s Day Festival, Halloween trick-or-treat fest, Christmas Tree Lighting in Town Square and many more family-friendly holiday festivities. Just like when the 1st nugget of gold was found here, kicking off the Colorado gold rush, Arvada is booming today partially due to its convenience to the ski mountains, Boulder, and the G-line light rail system is only 4 stops to downtown Denver!
