Family: Denver Holiday Family Fun

Denver transforms for the holiday season. The City and County Building is illuminated from every vantage point, strands of lights are strung over the streets and suspended between buildings, and the horse carriages are festively decorated as they clop their way around downtown, pulling passengers snuggled under flannel blankets.

Begin your perfect day with a factory tour of Hammond’s Candies, a local confectionary that has been in operation in Denver since 1920. The factory is just a few exits north of downtown on I-25 and free samples of their hard candies are available in the lobby while you’re waiting for the tour to begin. Read Full Story
