Catrinas en mi Ciudad at Denver Performing Arts Complex

Denver Performing Arts Complex is looking pretty colorful right now with a stunning exhibition celebrating the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos, aka Day of the Dead.

Catrinas en mi Ciudad is an outdoor exhibition held throughout the complex and features larger than life Catrinas (the tall female skeletons) and Calaveras (the highly decorated skulls) created by costume and set designer Ricardo Soltero and Cooperativa Jaen Cartoneria from Mexico City.

I love all of the color and the cultural aspects of the Catrinas and Calaveras, and especially enjoy the contrast of these pieces in such a modern, urban environment. Each pieces shines and adds a touch of wonder and delight to the complex.

The best part of this exhibition? It’s free!

Magic of the Jack-O'Lanterns: Day Time 2025

Magic of the Jack-O'Lanterns is back at Littleton's Hudson Gardens again this year! 

This year we were unable to make it in the evening, so for something a little different, I decide to visit during the day and check out all of the jack-o'lanterns under the sun. I’m so glad I did, because it was such a different experience from visiting in the evening, and it was lovely to see all of the jack-o’lanterns with the colorful Fall foliage.

If you can only visit once, I definitely recommend going in the evening for the full experience of seeing all of the jack-o’lanterns lit up, as well as the light tunnels, the music, and the tasty food on offer (including make your own s’mores), but a visit during the day is also pretty magical. It’s a great option for families with little kids, people with sensory issues, and anyone who wants to get a closer look at all the details. Plus, visiting during the day is free!

The 90s: The Last Decade Before the Future

Want to feel old?

If you’re a similar age to me, a sure fire way to feel old is to see your teen and early adult years on display in a museum. Yep… I’m officially “my life is a museum exhibit” old!

But it’s all good. It’s nostalgia. It’s memories. 

I’m talking about the fun exhibition “The 90s: The Last Decade Before the Future” currently on display at the History Colorado Center. It’s a celebration of a decade that doesn’t feel that long ago, but also feels a whole world away. A decade and a time long gone.

Just like the 90s, the exhibition is about to become a thing of the past, with only a few days left to visit. So grab your Discman and your Blockbuster membership card, throw on a pair of parachute pants, look up History Colorado Center in your street directory, and make your way there by this weekend to revisit the nostalgia of the 90s.

Let’s take a look at what you’ll find…
