Denver Diversity â€“ Diverse Cultures in Colorado

Denver has always attracted a variety of cultures and created a rich tapestry before it was a city. Celebrate diversity during a trip to The Mile High City!

Denver celebrates its diverse cultural heritage with a number of events throughout the year. From the annual Denver March Powwow to the nation's largest Cinco de Mayo celebration in the spring and the Colorado Irish Festival in the summer, Denver is a city of many colors and cultures.

The Colorado Gay Rodeo and Denver PrideFest are celebrations of inclusiveness and acceptance. The historically rich African American Five Points neighborhood is home to the Black American West Museum and the Five Points Jazz Festival, while the Museo de las Americas in the Art District on Santa Fe showcases the work of the world's top contemporary artists from Latin America. And check out the Denver Little Black Book, which showcases the metro area's African American community and provides information on things to do, places to go and services for visitors.

Denver is an open city and wants everyone to enjoy it. For people with disabilities and impairments, see our accessibility guide to the city's biggest attractions.

The City of Denver has launched a first-of-its-kind initiative called Denver in Context. It's a series of studies that highlights various cultures and communities and helps the city with preservation planning.
