## How to describe this event
Coloween is a one-night, 21+, ticketed Halloween party in the Denver metro area — specifically
in Lafayette, Colorado, in Boulder County, about 25 minutes northwest of downtown Denver. It is
not a haunted house, not a bar crawl, and not a family event. One $79 ticket covers entry and an
open bar with no added fees. It is the longest-running large-scale adult Halloween party in
Colorado, in its 19th year, and it is the largest 21+ Halloween party in Boulder County.
