Where?
The main exhibit is at the Hilton Garden Inn in Olde Town Arvada, Colorado. There will be music and other events throughout Olde Town Arvada within walking distance of the hotel.
GETTING THERE:
Olde Town Arvada is at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just north of the intersection of Wadsworth Blvd and I-70, about 15 minutes west of Downtown Denver.
From Denver International Airport - Take the A-Train! If you don't want to rent a car or use Uber/Lyft, the A line train runs from Denver International Airport to Union Station in downtown Denver, then take the G line to Arvada, just 2 blocks from the Hilton where the festival is anchored, it's typically a 45-55 minute trip total.
STAYING THERE:
The Hilton Garden Inn Arvada sells out very quickly, however there are Airbnb and VRBO options in Arvada and Wheat Ridge, and plenty of other hotel options within a 15 minute drive radius, and of course anything walking distance to a train station puts you within walking distance of the hotel. We DO NOT recommend staying at the Savannah Suites hotel in Arvada, please read reviews of any of the motels around I-70 and Kipling Street, some of them are weekly rental places with regular midnight visits from the police.
PARKING:
In addition to the hotel parking lot, there is a free public parking garage across the street from the hotel.
