Overview

Where artists go, people follow. River North ("RiNo" to locals) was originally an industrial neighborhood filled with warehouses, factories and auto repair shops. When industry moved out in the late 80s, the neighborhood was left with vacant warehouses and failing infrastructure. Drawn to the grittiness, artists came to set up shop in 2005 and the RiNo Art District was born. Today, RiNo is home to some of Denver's best street art, breweries, restaurants, galleries and boutiques. Come explore the best of the best.
