The third annual Chili Harvest Arts Festival in Lakewood will feature food, music and art.  Mark August 27 and 28 on your calendars so you don’t miss this wonderful event that celebrates traditional Spanish Colonial and contemporary art with music, entertainment and food in tribute to the harvest of the chile pepper.

Hosted by the city of Lakewood and the Chicano Humanities & Arts Council, this event will be held at the Lakewood Heritage Center, 801 S. Yarrow Street, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for children 3 to 12.  You can easily walk from Belmar or take advantage of the ample free parking.

 

 

 

 

Belmar Farmers Market in Lakewood, CO is in full swing!

One of the highlights of summerfor me is to visit farmers’ markets in the Denver metro area. My favorite is held in Belmar, also known as Lakewood’s new Town Center.

Located in the old Villa Italia area at Alameda and Wadsworth, this vibrant community is a delight to visit. Every Sunday, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., the street is lined with booths featuring fresh produce, breads and baked goods, tasty grilled foods and lots of unique merchandise. You can enjoy live entertainment, chef demonstrations or just simply people watch.

There are many new vendors this year to join with our returning favorites. This week I was introduced to Redlaw Sauce Co., Tweetie pie – cute little reusable shopping bags,  and organic garden plants check out Pam’s Gardens.

I hope to see you on Sunday. I will be the woman with a Nikon around her neck.
