Downtown Denver Arts Festival
The Downtown Denver Arts Festival is dedicated to supporting and showcasing Colorado visual artists. Downtown Denver Arts Festival holds its annual premier event each Memorial Day Weekend at the Denver Pavilions. The fine art and fine craft exhibition features over 125 of Colorado’s best artists with over 150,000 people expected to attend.
We will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary in 2008. Many of you may remember the event when it began as the Celebrate Colorado Artists Festival. The original vision of the event is still to promote artists that call Colorado their home. We are expecting the 2008 festival to be the best yet.

Phamaly presents Side Show
Space Theatre, Denver Performing Arts Complex
June 5-29, 2008
Based on the true story of Siamese twins Violet and Daisy Hilton who became stars during the Depression, Side Show is a moving portrait of two women joined at the hip whose extraordinary bondage brings them fame but denies them love. Told almost entirely in song, the show follows their progression from England to America, around the vaudeville circuit and to Hollywood on the eve of their appearance in the 1932 movie Freaks. Side Show tickets are $15-$30.
For more information, please call (303) 893-4100 or visit www.denvercenter.org or www.phamaly.org.
