Whiskey Warm Up presented by Elkins Whisky is all about our homegrown Colorado whiskey. Festival goers will receive a commemorative tasting glass to sample whiskey and other spirits from 30+ distilleries, listen to live music, peruse and purchase goods from area vendors, and enjoy food truck pairings. You can even purchase a bottle, or two, from your favorite distillery to enjoy at home.
The event is held outdoors at beautiful Riverside Plaza, so dress for the weather. This event has limited tickets and sells out quickly. Don’t miss this annual tradition of warming up from the inside out.
Free Event Shuttle will be available
