🧨 WEEKEND HYPE — What’s Up in Loveland
You survived the holidays. Now you get the fun part: slow mornings, warm food, and “we should do something” energy without the chaos.
4 quick picks (full details later):
Christmas Walk in the Woods — a night stroll through Savage Woods with lights + festive scenes.
Cacao & Sound Journey — cozy, vibey, and a little healing-core (in a good way).
Digital Navigator Drop-Ins (Loveland Public Library) — free help with tech questions (new phone? new year? same confusion).
Hat Burning Workshop — weird, satisfying, and 100% a story you’ll tell later.
What’s your ideal “between holidays and New Year” weekend plan?
🌎 THE PULSE — Outside & Around Loveland
Christmas Walk in the Woods (Savage Woods) runs Dec 13–31 (closed Christmas Eve/Day) — bundle up and lean into the glow. Loveland CO
A Very Centerra Holiday / “All is Bright” Tour: light displays across Centerra (including Chapungu Sculpture Park) + scavenger hunt vibes for families. Loveland CO
Library help is on this weekend: Digital Navigator Drop-Ins can save you from turning a “quick fix” into a 2-hour spiral. lovgov.org
🍽️ RESTAURANT & BREWERY SPOTLIGHT
🍺 Rock Coast Brewery
If you want something that feels local-local, this is a great weekend hang with a real community vibe.
☕ Dark Heart Coffee Bar
Great for a reset morning: coffee, laptop energy, or a quick catch-up that doesn’t turn into brunch chaos.
SPOTLIGHT STORY — People, Places, or Businesses
Loveland’s low-key winter superpower: “easy magic” nights
Loveland doesn’t need a massive festival every weekend to feel alive in winter. The Sweetheart City does something quieter (and better): it stacks a bunch of small, simple traditions that make it easy to get out of the house without overplanning.
You’ve got the 12 Days of Christmas Display at Veterans Park — the kind of quick, family-friendly stop that turns into “let’s drive by again” tradition. Loveland CO
Then there’s Christmas Walk in the Woods at Savage Woods: a self-guided lit trail with festive scenes that hits the sweet spot between “holiday” and “peaceful.” Loveland CO
And if you’re meeting friends or trying to get the kids moving, Centerra’s holiday light tour gives you a built-in stroll + photo ops + scavenger hunt energy. Loveland CO
This weekend’s move: pick one of those, pair it with a warm drink stop, and call it a win.
