WATCH HEREBut when the end of October draws close, the district's charms are in full and frightful flower. One only needs to swing by One Colorado, the shopping destination, for eerie evidence.
Not too eerie, of course, for One Colorado's Halloween-themed offerings are very much of the family-fun, not-too-intense variety, starting with a pumpkin-decorating event on Oct. 22.

A free event will follow less than a week later, with the Bob Baker Marionettes stopping by on Oct. 28 to present a "Spook'tacular" performance. You'll want to RSVP for this cheerful charmer, as spots are limited.
