Enjoy an old-fashioned Christmas in historic Arvada Colorado, without burning a lot of gas! Start with horse-drawn carriage rides through historic Olde Town Arvada Friday nights Nov. 27 through December 18. $10 per ride, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. And of course, get some shopping done while you’re in town!
And don’t miss the tree lighting in Olde Town Square (57th & Olde Wadsworth) on Monday, December 7 beginning at 6:00 pm. Visit Santa, free horse-drawn carriage rides, enjoy hot chocolate, listen to carolers. This is Lagniappe, a gift from Olde Town merchants.
And during Lagniappe, you can see the old Flour Mill at 5590 Wadsworth Blvd. Say ‘Hi’ to members of the Arvada Historical Society, and check out the donated Christmas items they have for sale. 5 to 7 pm Monday, December 7.
Arvada has two new restaurants to check out too. Udi’s and The Archive Room. They’re across the street from each other on Grandview Ave.
Wow! Sounds like a lot of fun. I plan to enjoy all of it this year – I hope I’ll see you there!
I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those *communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly *suburbs northwest of Denver.
