The annual holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years Day sees Denver awash with excitement as multiple events and activities are taking place at precisely this time of year. From theatrical performances to outdoor activities, there is plenty to choose from.

Any road trip in Ireland will invariably pass through the Shannon region. If you find yourself in Limerick, start at the river’s end and arrive in rugged north Kerry by following the southern coastline of the estuary. It is thanks to the river’s water that this region is so green, so enjoy the scenery by taking your sweet time on a scenic tour from Kittycloghar to Mohill in County Leitrim. The Shannon Erne Tour starts in Carrick-on-Shannon, Ballinamore, Carrigallen, Dromod, Jamestown and returns to Carrick-On-Shannon in the end, with a length of approx 92km. Carrick-on-Shannon, the cruising capital, is home to the smallest chapel in Europe, while Ballinamore is an angler’s paradise with 40 lakes in a 10 km radius. The Lough Rynn estate in Mohill features 100 acres of rare woodland and exotic walled ornamental gardens, whereas Dromod houses the Cavan and Leitrim Railway. Jamestown, in the and, and named after King James 1, was a walled and fortified city that still holds one of the gates until today.

The Market Square, situated at the heart of the city, is an excellent starting point for any visit. Here, you can admire the Old Town Hall and browse stalls selling fresh vegetables, meat, cheese, and other locally produced products. The market runs on Tuesdays and Thursday from 9 am to 4 pm.

The National Western Stock Show is an annual livestock show and festival held every January at the National Western Complex in Denver since 1906. The premier agricultural event of the year showcases the art of professional rodeo, puts on one of the US' largest horse shows, and contributes immensely to the development and support of relevant educational programs.
