Orthodox Food Festival 2024

In 2003, the historic Holy Transfiguration of Christ Orthodox Cathedral combined its annual church celebration with the neighborhood civic organization to put on the "Orthodox Food Festival and Old Globeville Days." It was a two-day extravaganza of ethnic food, entertainment, live bands, crafts, and games. The festival was featured in guide books as one of the best celebrations of Globeville's ethnic diversity.

In recent years, changes in Denver's city administration has resulted in the loss of Argo Park for the festival, with the celebration limited to Logan Street and the church property. COVID severely impacted the event.

In 2024, Transfiguration received a new dean Reverend Seraphim Robertson and the parish will again be hosting its festival celebration. 

Scan the QR code on the poster to receive updates on the activities. You'll want to take a tour of this historic church, built in 1898. The parishioners did much of the work themselves - this after putting in a ten or twelve hour day in a smelter or foundry. The incense, beeswax and stunning icons are a tribute to the faith of the founders and the dedication of the current congregation.

GES Open House

The GES Coalition works with residents in the Globeville, Elyria and Swansea neighborhoods on issues that impact these communities. This meeting will be held at the Globeville Recreation Center at 4496 Grant Street from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. This looks like a lot of information to cram in an hour and a half period, and the meeting ends before a lot of working folks can make it.

But these meetings usually have a moderator to keep thing moving, so you might pick the one project that affects you the most - like construction on Washington Street or the 44th Avenue Pedestrian improvements. (Are there sidewalks on 44th Avenue now?)

Take notes and ask questions.
