Summertime Funtime in Denver!

Looking for some fun summertime ideas that are a little out of the ordinary? Welcome to the Summertime Funtime Series. Posted on Fridays.

Part 1:

Venice on the Creek - June thru August, take a Gondola-esque tour of the Cherry Creek (often mistaken with the Platte). Open in the evenings for a historical boat ride or a candlelight romantic ride. Should run you about $30 for an hour. Check the site to make reservations.

Check out a free concert at Confluence Park on 15th and Platte. Usually the park has free movie night as well - but in 08 is suspending flicks for the DNC. Check back in 09 for River Flicks!
