As much as we love the Summer weather, the time has come to put away the white pants and sandals, and unpack the sweaters. Although Fall doesn't officially start until September 23, Labor Day weekend has come to signify Summer's send-off. If you are searching for some fun ways to end your Summer, these are some events and ideas in the Denver area this weekend!

Enjoy The Amaranth | Any Day
Maybe you would rather spend your long weekend at home at The Amaranth - and there's nothing wrong with that! Invite some friends over for a barbecue on the patio, talk a walk through Denver Botanic Gardens now that the Corpse Flower crowds are gone, do some yoga or go for a bike ride!
