Construction may be changing the landscape of our district, but the heart of Colfax Mayfair beats stronger than ever. This holiday season, we're hosting two celebrations that go beyond just marking milestones - they're opportunities to show up for the businesses that show up for our community every single day.

Join us for an arch-raising party and our annual Sip & Stroll, then make it count by staying for dinner, grabbing a gift card, or finally visiting that new spot you've been curious about. These aren't just events, they're invitations to be the kind of neighbor our local businesses need right now.

Elm Station Arch-Lift Party

Be Our Guest at Colfax Mayfair's First-Ever BRT Arch-Lift Party! Get ready for an Over The Top celebration as we raise an iconic arch over the new Bus Rapid Transit station!

Monday, November 24 | 7:00-9:00pm at The W Denver, 5001 E. Colfax at Elm

Bring your friends and family for live jazz, local eats, a signature holiday cocktail (free to the first 30 guests), campy vintage flicks, and giveaways from neighborhood merchants. This milestone marks the future of our district - let's celebrate together! RSVP for free here. 

Parking: Available on Elm St., Fairfax St., and E. 16th Ave.

Make It a Full Evening: Start early by meeting friends for a pre-party drink, or browsing Thanksgiving decor and holiday gifts at local shops. After the arch-raising celebration, keep the night going with a nightcap at The Owl Saloon, Mozart's, R&R Lounge, or pick up a gift card from your favorite spot for future visits. 

Proudly sponsored by your neighborhood merchants: The W Denver, Jett Sushi, Mile High Bikram Yoga, VIVA! Mexi-Coffee, City Donuts, The Owl Saloon, The Marlowe Apartments, Marczyk Fine Foods, Moss Pink Flora, Hey Babe Nice Nails, R&R Lounge, Chili Shack.

Beyond the Events: Keep Supporting Local

These celebrations are wonderful, but the real support happens in the everyday moments - the Tuesday coffee run, the Friday night dinner, the last-minute gift shopping. Our businesses are navigating construction while continuing to create the experiences that make our neighborhood special. 

Ways to Show Up:

• Visit a restaurant you haven't tried yet
• Buy gift cards for future visits
• Bring friends and family to explore the district
• Share your favorite spots on social media
• Make supporting local a weekly habit, not just a special occasion

Construction is temporary. The character, creativity, and community of Colfax Mayfair? That's permanent - but only if we all do our part. See you at the celebrations, and even more importantly, see you supporting our neighborhood businesses all season long.
