Brunch foods are the best foods in my book! You get the carbs, you get the protein, the sweet and the savory. You get to have breakfast for dinner (well, lunch) and lunch for breakfast. And what would brunch be without something fabulous to sip? That’s why BrunchFest Denver gives attendees the best of all worlds. We’ve partnered with the event producers, Drink Denver, to bring you our sponsored guide to everything you need to get ready to BrunchFest INCLUDING how to take advantage of our exclusive discount code.

What happens during BrunchFest:

Basically, eating, drinking and lots of merriment surrounding bottomless brunch deliciousness. But specifically, local restaurants serve up bites of their brunch best, from sweet to savory, sticky to saucy, carby to meaty. It’s all there. Drinks are available too such as mimosas, Bloody Marys,  brunchy cocktails and n/a options.

You also get to cast your vote for Best Bite, Best Boozy Bevy, Most Creative Dish and other award categories. It’s a big deal for the restaurants if they win, giving them major bragging rights all year.

There will also be a DJ keeping the happy vibe hopping, drag queen fabulousness during a BrunchFest Drag Brunch hosted by Minerva, plus other interactive fun.
