Denver in February 2026: A Guide to Local Events & Experiences
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to make February more interesting, this is it! Denver has lots to offer and it’s showing up this month with creative classes, indulgent tastings, and events that feel way more fun than staying in (even when it’s cold out).
These are the events we’ve bookmarked, shared in our group chats, and planned our weeks around. They’re all hosted by local spots we’re excited to support!
