History of the Chile Fest

The Westwood Chile Fest had its first event back in 2010. The "Chile Fest" name was chosen to represent the Hispanic culture it celebrates--always with a focus on food and the arts, and the goal to showcase the best of what Westwood has to offer. When you visit the festival, you'll get to celebrate with Westwood residents, foodies, and art lovers.We have plenty of exciting things going on throughout the year. So, get out and explore the thriving, beautiful city of Denver.
