Join the fun on Thursday, July 31 from 6 to 10 p.m. downtown at McGregor Square ( 1901 Wazee St., Denver) If you get VIP or First Taste tickets the entry is at 6 p.m., and general admission is at 7 p.m. Presale tickets start at $125 for GA, and $150 after that. For First Taste the cost starts at $165 for presale, and then $199. For VIP tickets you have to be one of 125 people to snag the $250 ticket, which includes a lounge overlooking the festival and some surprises. 

Even if you aren’t a VIP you’ll feel like it thanks to the food and setting. Expect live music, indoor and outdoor areas, and all you can eat seafood, cocktails, sake, and wine. Cocktail attire is suggested for the upscale evening, but no one will look down on yoga pants and a cute top either. After all, you need room to splurge on the food. Summer food festival season is here, and we are so excited for it.
