Ready to rock? Then start making plans to visit Denver this month. No, we’re not talking about shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. We’re talking about the Denver Gem Show presented by Hart Events. The event runs Sept. 11-20 at the National Western Complex.

Hundreds of vendors and many more guests will file into the massive space each day. The sparkling inventory will include fossils, gems, minerals, jewelry and more. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, and admission is free. Find more information online at hartgem.show.
