As we finish out another fantastic start to our year, we want Golden to get excited for all of the exciting opportunities we have coming up for celebrating our most cherished friends and family. From the romantic nights spent under the twinkling holiday lights that adorn our streets during Golden's "Winter Lights, Winter Nights" culinary event, to whisking ourselves away to a 1950s-themed romantic dining car as the sun sets on the Colorado Railroad Museum, there isn't a better time to explore Golden with the one you love! For this list, we break down great date night ideas in Golden for February 2019.
Winter Lights, Winter Nights | February 1st - 10th
Winter Lights, Winter Nights is a 10-day celebration of Golden's dining scene and magnificent holiday light display. This will be a culinary experience you won't want to miss.

Date on the Diner | February 8th & 9th
There's nothing like celebrating Valentine's Day in class, and the Colorado Railroad Muesum's Date on the Diner is a first-class event. Themed as a 1950's affair, the Colorado Railroad Museum encourages attendees to dress up as if they were really dining in class on a mid-century rail car. "Seating will begin at 4:30pm with dinner served at 5:00pm. Each table will include a catered dinner, dessert, a bottle of wine, chocolates, a red rose and a live acoustic performance."
Tickets start at $150.00 for a table for two and there are also table for four options as well. If you know the Colorado Railroad Museum, you know event tickets don't last long! Head on over to the link below for more information about this fantastic date!
Miners Alley Playhouse | All Year Long
It has been named one of the most romantic date nights in Denver by The Denver Ear and, with great drinks from the in-house bar Lillie's Saloon (open one hour before showtime) and their coming-of-age tale Lost in Yonkers, running from January 25th to March 3rd, it's no wonder why everyone seems to enjoy a night out at Miners Alley Playhouse. In addition to the regularly romantic fare at Miners Alley, Miners Alley has partnered with Old Capitol Grill & Smokehouse, Miners Saloon, and Abejas to offer Miners Alley ticket-holders a 15% discount on food when they show their ticket for that day/night's performance. So, before you stop in to watch the Pulitzer-Prize-winning play Lost in Yonkers (or any other play this year for that matter), stop by Old Capitol Grill & Smokehouse, Miners Saloon, or Abejas for a delicious bite to eat!
Scents & Sips | February 14th
Scents and Sips is a true Valentine's Day Experience you can enjoy with friends, family, or that special someone! Create custom candles, receive a bouquet of flowers from Golden's "Blumen" flowers, sip wine, and eat delightful cupcakes from Golden's one Gold Mine Cupcakes. This special event is being hosted from 2:00pm to 8:00pm at Mountain Lux Candles! Arrive by your chosen seating time and plan to spend 45 - 55 minutes in the store to explore scents, make candles, enjoy the food and beverages, and put together your bouquet! Your candles will be available for pickup the same night if you pour your candle by 7:00pm!
