FEST is Back

FOR ANOTHER YEAR AT ELITCH GARDENS!

We’re closing out our event season at Denver’s iconic amusement park with this adults-only, private, one-night extravaganza for the senses!

CLUCK YEAH, IT'S GONNA
BE ONE HELL OF A RIDE!

Chefs from 45 of the city’s top restaurants will compete for your vote as we look to crown the best in chicken wings, fried chicken, bourbon chicken, chicken tacos, chicken sandwiches—ok, everything chicken!—and wash it down with perfectly paired cocktails.

Tickets are all-inclusive:

• Unlimited tastes from dozens of your favorite local restaurants!

• Massive craft cocktail competition and tasting featuring the city’s most elite bartenders and more than 40 spirits!

• Bottomless ice cold beer and refreshments!

• 5 stages of killer live country, bluegrass and blues music!

• Unlimited rides, roller coasters, and more!

Event proceeds benefit the Colorado Restaurant Foundation—a local non-profit fostering talented students who are passionate about hospitality.
