Shopping and Dining:
16th Street Mall
Shaded trees, outdoor cafe’s, historic buildings and shopping characterize this street. Free shuttle
buses, which run the length of downtown, are the only vehicles allowed on this street.
Cherry Creek North
The Scene
This diverse, multifunctional shopping and entertainment district encompasses 1st, 2nd and 3rd Avenues between University
Boulevard and Steele Street. Warmer months herald outdoor events such as July's Cherry Creek Arts Festival, a juried art show that draws 300,000 visitors each year. In September, local restaurants open their
kitchens for the Taste of Cherry Creek. In April, 14,000 pairs of tennies run or walk through the streets in the Cherry Creek Sneak. The Art Walk invites visitors to the galleries every third Thursday of the month,
year-round.
The Goods
With dozens of restaurants, coffee houses and nightclubs and more than 300 shops, salons and galleries, the Cherry Creek area is constantly abuzz. The hip restaurants and
chichi boutiques and salons attract a see-and-be-seen crowd, but there are plenty of casual shops and Birkenstock-friendly cafes, as well.
