Five Points / RiNo (River North Art District)
Five Points and RiNo (River North Art District) Neighborhoods
FIVE POINTS
Five Points is one of Denver, Colorado’s oldest neighborhoods. It is now one of the fastest growing in terms of both redevelopment and population. Much of this growth is taking place in the River North Arts District, or “RiNo”, which is often considered by locals a neighborhood of its own; although it is officially within the Five Points neighborhood.
Five Points came to historical prominence from the 1860s through the 1950s. The neighborhood was home to a number of Denver’s leaders, housing mayors, governors, and prominent business people, as well as middle-class laborers. Rino, Union Station North, Clement, Old San Rafael, Curtis Park, Arapahoe Square, and Ballpark neighborhoods are located within the boundaries of the larger Five Points neighborhood.
Denver’s Juneteenth festival draws thousands of people every year. A parade starts at Manual High School and goes down to Welton Street. Vendors sell merchandise and street performers entertain the crowd. The Five Points Jazz Festival takes place every May and celebrates the jazz history of the neighborhood. Stages are set up along Welton street, both inside the various music venues and on the street itself.
RINO (RIVER NORTH ART DISTRICT)
Nicknamed “RiNo,” the trendy River North Art District features contemporary art galleries and hip concert venues in revamped industrial buildings. Food halls include Denver Central Market and The Source, a buzzy indoor venue with eclectic products and a bar for small plates and craft beer. Known for its colorful murals, Upper Larimer Street also has cocktail lounges, brewpubs with patios and late-night food trucks.
