There is so much to see and do in Northern Colorado and Fort Collins you can;

An Adventure in Arts & Culture
Fort Collins richly deserves its reputation as the cultural capital of Northern Colorado. With a half-dozen live theatre stages in production throughout the year; a symphony orchestra, ballet troupe, and opera company as well as several chorale ensembles; facilities that accommodate a wide range of national touring shows and concerts; and galleries and museums mounting exhibits of everything from animation art to historical kimonos, there’s always something interesting going on.
Old Town abounds with shops and galleries featuring the work of local artists, craftsmen, and photographers. Stroll around and meet them during a First Friday Gallery Walk (check the calendar for information). For the widest array of classical music and dance options, visit Fort Collins between September and May. That’s when Canyon Concert Ballet, the Fort Collins Symphony Orchestra, and the CSU Department of Music, Theatre and Dance all present their seasons. Other chorale and instrumental groups perform year-round, and summer brings a variety of performers out to street festivals, under the stars or over the lunch hour.
All the world's a stage - at least it seems like that in Fort Collins. A little light musical? A meal with your entertainment? Cutting-edge drama with nationally known visiting artists? Or an original drama performed by talented members of the community? The curtain goes up on it all, at venues ranging from Bas Bleu Theatre, located in a reclaimed historic machine shop by the river to Lincoln Center, Fort Collins' premier arts venue. On any given Friday night, the center could be hosting a touring Broadway show, an original drama by a local playwright, two or three exhibits by local artists, and a fundraising event for a local non-profit. So you see, Fort Collins is the place to be when you want to add arts & culture to your vacation experience. Check it out today!

Go on a Beer Tour,Fort Collins…the Napa Valley of Beer!
From the King of Beers to Fat Tire, Fort Collins is home to 5 award-winning craft breweries and one of the best known large breweries in the world, Anheuser Busch. Whether you are here for the day or here for the week, you will find just the thing to wet your whistle…
Visit Anheuser Busch to learn how Budweiser is made, see the Clydesdale's, and dive into the history of one of the longest running brewing companies in the country. Odell Brewing Company was the first microbrewery established in Fort Collins, and it is going strong today with award-winners like 90 Shilling and 5 Barrel. Visit their tasting room for some great beers, including a few experimental brews, and while you’re there pick up a t-shirt or two for your friends back home.
If you’re in the mood for a little food with your beer, head over to CooperSmith’s Pub & Brewing for delicious homemade dishes, and even better beers. They even make their own root beer! Lastly, "Follow your folly"over to New Belgium Brewing Company, makers of regional favorite Fat Tire Amber Ale, and experience the most unique brewery in the industry. Known as much for their commitment to the environment as their great beers, New Belgium has won awards for both! One step into their tasting room and you will know that fun is the name of the game; if you’re lucky, you might get to take a ride on the twisty slide at the end of your tour.

Visit old town Fort Collins
Old Town Fort Collins
Get a feel for settler life in this well-preserved downtown district of 23 historical buildings that are part of both national and local designated historic districts. Included is the Armstrong Hotel, a Fort Collins landmark that was restored in 2004 to its former “Art Deco” elegance. You're likely to notice a strong resemblance to Disneyland's Main Street USA: we're proud to say that it is modeled after our own downtown Fort Collins! Old Town Fort Collins is lined with nature, tourist, antique, retail, and candy and confectionery shops. There are a variety of restaurants (over 84 of them, actually) to provide a taste for any craving, and countless places to dine outdoors. Additionally, ride the only original trolley car west of the Mississippi through a beautiful historic Old Town neighborhood. And on any given day, you can enjoy the sounds of live music drifting through the square.
These are just a few things to do in wonderful Northern Colorado.
Please let me know of your favorite places to go!
