Going Green and Guinness: 

St. Patrick's always been associated with shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold, and getting pinched if you don't wear green. There's always a St. Patrick's Day parade, lots of corned beef and cabbage, and plenty of Guinness. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17 and has been celebrated on that day since the 17th century.

Legend has it that St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland, making him the patron saint, although he's actually British. Folklore has it that he drove out all the snakes in Ireland before his death in 461, and since then has helped to cultivate a patriotism that is nearly unmatched. There are around 35 million Americans who claim Irish ancestry – that’s seven times the population of Ireland! – and the holiday is not just celebrated by this Irish-rooted group.

Let the Celebrations Begin!

The Irish Americans and the Irish-at-heart first celebrated St. Patrick's Day in 1737 in Boston. Today, the holiday's celebrated all over the U.S. with Denver home to one of the country's largest St. Patrick's Day parades with around 200,000 expected to attend.

After Mardi Gras and New Year's Eve, St. Paddy's Day ranks third for drinking. One in three admit to binge drinking during the holiday, and it's estimated that over 13 million pints of Guinness will be consumed that day. According to WalletHub, 75 percent of St. Patrick's Day drinking and driving fatalities involved people twice over the legal .08 limit. Over half of all Americans planning to drink during the holiday will drink beer. One in five will down hard liquor and one in 10 will tag-team their drinks by imbibing both.

Here are some more sobering facts about St. Patrick's Day drinking and driving from WalletHub:

• There's 152 percent more beer sold while more than 819 percent of Guinness than usual is drunk during the holiday.
• Fifty-nine people died on St. Patrick's Day 2017 from drunken driving crashes. That's one death every 37 minutes.
• Over four out of 10 who died from those crashes were between the ages of 21 and 34 (years 2013 to 2017).
• One in three of the pedestrians who were killed over the holiday had blood alcohol levels over the legal limit of .08.

Drinking and driving is not a rite of passage on St. Patrick's Day. Celebrate the music, the food, the culture, families, and the parades. It only takes getting behind the wheel once after a few drinks to change lives forever. So we've put together a few tips to help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day safely.

TIPS FOR DRIVING SAFELY ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY

It can't be stressed enough that if you plan on drinking, don't drive. EVER. Four drinks is the average amount of drinking per person during the holiday. Always choose a designated driver, bring extra cash for a cab, spread out your drinks over several hours and make sure to eat.

Don't let your friends drive drunk. Take their keys and call them a cab. Many towns and cities have local sober ride programs that you can call for a safe drive home. Find these resources before going out on the town. Keep in mind that you don't have to drink to have fun.

Try celebrating St. Patrick’s Day sober. There's an international movement to curb drinking and driving over the St. Patrick's Day holiday. It's called Sober St. Patrick's Day. It's a non-profit group dedicated to reclaiming the holiday in honor of Irish culture and St. Patrick. By celebrating sober, more lives are saved from drinking and driving.

May the luck of the Irish be with you. Don't forget to wear green and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day safely. Remember: buzzed driving is drunk driving. Drink responsibly. We at INFINITI OF DENVER want you to stay safe and still have fun over the holiday.

Colorado can be the most beautiful state when winter arrives, but it takes some dedicated attention to ensure you can enjoy it safely. Knowing how to drive in the heavy snow that comes with the Rocky Mountains requires a fair amount of preparation. Follow winter driving tips correctly, and you can relish the holiday spirit no matter the conditions.

• Preparation: Proper cold winter driving begins before you ever shift into gear. Keep cold-weather clothing, food and water and blankets on hand to stay safe in case you are unable to make it where you need to go. You will also want to have any helpful tools on hand, like an ice scraper, flashlight or small shovel in case the weather leaves you stranded away from home.
• On the Road: Once you are actually driving on Colorado roads, exercise caution at every stop and around every turn. Be aware of how severe conditions are, and keep in mind how starting and stopping will be affected. It is much easier to correct slides at lower speeds, so allowing for more space from the car ahead of you will give you more time to react. Stopping on hills, accelerating through turns, and going hard on the brakes could all lead to problems.
• Long Distances: When you venture out for long distances and the weather is working against you, make sure you go over your checklist before you leave. Equip the necessary emergency gear, look at your fuel level and check the weather before you go. Tell friends and family when you are leaving, where you are traveling and when you should arrive. If you fail to show, they will know where to find you.
• If You Find Yourself in a Jam: In the event that you are stuck, take time to assess the situation before you act prematurely. Do what you can to enhance visibility so you and your car remain safe and can be found by roadside assistance. Stay warm by putting on layers and keep fuel usage to a minimum by only running the car when necessary.

Often the best defense for winter driving in Colorado is having a car that can handle the roads. INFINITI can answer that call, with loads of amenities built for control. Look to the likes of the 2020 standouts, like the QX50 or the QX80, available with features to keep you protected like Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and Predictive Forward Collision Warning.

And when you purchase a new INFINITI, you get free 24/7 roadside assistance in case the conditions prove too much. We will be there to get you back on your journey, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. You will even get another two years of assistance, accessible during regular dealership hours, just for doing business with us at INFINITI OF DENVER.

Get the most you can out of the beautiful Colorado winters with support from INFINITI OF DENVER. Contact our INFINITI dealership today to ensure you enjoy this winter season with a smooth and safe drive.

The perfect gift

There is often nothing more challenging than trying to find the perfect gift to spoil your partner – and no greater reward than when you have.  The best gifts are those that come from a partner who picks up on clues (deliberate or subconscious) during the months before the holiday to surprise you with exactly what you want. But for some of us, it’s not always that easy – maybe there weren’t many clues to pick up on; maybe the clues pointed to something new and unique for a true surprise.  If that’s the case, you can always start off with simple, traditional gestures such as flowers, candies, and stuffed toys, or you can go the extra mile with luxury gifts for Valentine’s Day that are sure to please.

Jewelry

One of the more obvious luxury gift suggestions is high quality jewelry for him or her.  The time-honored practice of purchasing a watch for your partner is still a go-to gift for a man of luxury.  Similarly, an elegant set of earrings or a personalized pendant highlights your partner’s taste while complementing her natural beauty.

Travel

If you have already gone the jewelry route and are looking for a luxury gift that is more memorable, consider a couple’s getaway.  An experience might be that unique gift option that truly celebrates your partnership through dedicated, valuable time over the course of your adventure.  Plan a ski trip or a vacation getaway to somewhere warm and tropical or even a cruise with several stops to reveal a cross-section of culture you don't see every day.

Art

Another unique luxury Valentine’s gift is the gift of fine art.  Spoil your partner with a painting or sculpture by his or her favorite artist.  This type of gift highlights your attention to detail, reinforcing that you respect and celebrate your partner’s taste.

A Valentine's Day to remember

While these are all quality suggestions, the special person in your life may still be hoping for a truly spectacular Valentine’s gift that goes above and beyond their expectations.  Take the opportunity to spoil your spouse with a luxurious and innovative INFINITI EDITION 30.

From the exhilarating 300hp of the Q50 to the commanding luxury of the QX80, the INFINITI lineup of EDITION 30 vehicles has it all.  A brand known for comfort and luxury, engineered for performance to meet the rigors of the road, from Denver traffic to Colorado mountain passes, INFINITI OF DENVER has what you are looking for in the perfect gift your loved one will never forget.

Hopefully some of you got the chance to attend the foodie event of the year - Sushi Dens 4th Annual Summer Rooftop Party. We were happy to be able to sponsor this exclusive event for the first time this year, especially since all of the proceeds went to such great causes. The Rooftop Party has taken place on the rooftop of the parking garage right by Sushi Den for the past 3 years, and offers 20 different Chefs flown in from Southern Japan two nights in a row. This year, they included 8 of Denver's top Chefs to take part as well. Other than the exquisite street food, you can also enjoy live music, award-winning sakes, and tasteful beer and wine. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were the make for a perfect summer evening. 

 The Cause 

This event was first inspired to benefit the victims of the devastating earthquake in Southern Japan in 2016, which hit their hometown very hard. Since starting this event, they have raised money to support other natural disasters that have affected the United States, their now long time home. Aside from the Rooftop Party benefiting the Kumamoto Castle Earthquake Relief, they also support a local charity called We Don't Waste. We Don't Waste supports our community and environment by reclaiming and redistributing quality food to those in need. Their team collects unused food from venues, caterers, distributors, and other food purveyors and distributes it to under-served populations. Since starting in 2009, We Don't Waste has recovered over 100 million servings of food. Great food all for a great cause!

The Food

Den Corner hand-picks and personally flies in 20 incredible Chefs from Southern Japan for this exclusive event. These Chefs personally make fresh Ramen, Hand Rolls, BBQ Seafood, BBQ Beef, and more amazing Japanese street food all right in front of you. They come to this event from all over Southern Japan, including cities like Hiroshima, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, and more. Aside from the ones who were flown in, they also included 8 of Denver's elite award-winning Chefs from some of our top restaurants. These culinary experts included none other than Alon Shaya, Caroline Glover, Dana Rodriguez, Ian Wortham, Alex Seidel, Carrie Baird, Elise Wiggins, and Paul Reilly. All of these Chefs have won incredible culinary awards, cook at top Denver restaurants, and are experts in their craft. Be sure to check them out and dine at some of their restaurants!

If you didn't get the chance to attend this year, be sure to grab some tickets in advance next year. Great music, great food, and a great location. It's a fun way to finish off your summer and all for a good cause!

Great news, car buyers! The all new 2020 INFINITI QX60 is available now at INFINITI OF DENVER, and it's more luxurious and tech-savvy than ever. There are 4 different models available, including the QX60 PURE, QX60 PURE AWD, QX60 LUXE, and the QX60 LUXE AWD.  In comparison to it's competitors, the all new QX60 rises up against all with it's 11/13 available safety features, whereas every other only has 8/13.

Safety 

One key feature in the abundance of safety features is the Around View Monitor With Moving Object Detection, which delivers intuitive technology that helps to make parking easier by placing four cameras around the vehicle to give you a virtual 360 bird's eye view on your display. Another feature is the Backup Collision Intervention, which gives you awareness in every direction while backing up by detecting a potential collision with visual and audible alerts. The Blind Spot Warning is another safety feature you can't miss out on having, which alerts you when vehicles are detected in your blind spot area. Another great feature would be the Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, which cannot only measure the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you as well as the speed of both vehicles - it can also capture movement from a pedestrian directly ahead in your lane of travel, helping you detect a potential frontal collision. As well as audible and visual warnings, the vehicle will also partially apply the brakes if they are not applied, even fully braking if necessary. These are just a few of the safety features in the QX60, but you can learn more about the others here. 

Versatility

If you're looking for a vehicle with style and versatility, the QX60 is the SUV for you. You will have the convenience of Hands-Free Entry, for those times when you have your hands full and need to get access to your trunk. With just a simple swing of your foot under the rear bumper, the Motion Activated Liftgate automatically opens and gives you immediate entry to your cargo space. If you have a big family or find yourself always driving company around, you will always have access to Three Rows and 7 seats. The Adaptable Cargo Spaces are also a key feature in the 2020 QX60, making it so you can fold the second and third rows to accommodate for your next adventure.  Personal Entertainment is also available (if so equipped) to keep the kiddos in the back seat happy, with optional dual 8-inch screens where they can enjoy movies or games. For those cold Colorado Winters, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is here to assist, which monitors wheel spin, throttle position and speed, and diverts up to 50% of the available power to the rear wheels when conditions are less than optimal. These are just a few of the versatility features in the QX60, but you can learn more here.

4th of July is without a doubt a fun time of year - between the cook-outs, the fireworks, and the beautiful weather. It's a great day to celebrate our country with the people you love. Denver is always a fun place to be, but it's especially fun over a holiday and there's tons of things to do here that will make spending your 4th of July here worthwhile. Below are some of our favorite places to spend a mile high 4th of July.

The Firework Show At Coors Field

The Colorado Rockies typically have a few games around the 4th of July, but what comes after the games are what's really special. Coors Field will host a huge firework show after the games on both July 2nd and July 3rd, and their firework shows are definitely a sight to see. The fireworks typically start about 20-25 minutes after the game ends, that way they can clear anyone not staying for the fireworks out of the stadium. Tickets for the firework shows come in very high demand and usually sell out fast, so be sure to get them ASAP. The tickets usually run at about $50 for two tickets, but for the proximity you're getting it's definitely worth spending the money. Don't want to buy tickets or they're already sold out? Don't worry, you still have a few options! You can snag a spot at a rooftop bar nearby or view it from pretty much anywhere close by. You definitely don't want to miss one of the best displays in Denver, get your tickets here.

Independence Eve at Civic Center Park

Independence Eve is always an eventful way to spend your 4th of July for free. Enjoy some live music from popular local bands that starts at 5:00 PM while eating some delicious food from the food trucks and sipping on a variety of craft beers and wines. For the past ten years, this has been one of the most popular 4th of July events in Denver and it has always had great turnout. The gates open at 4:00 PM, so be sure to get there before the live music begins to grab a good spot. It's also encouraged you bring a lawn chair or blanket for comfortable seating, or even a picnic if you would like. And of course, the evening ends with a huge finale at 9:30 PM consisting of a light show and fireworks atop the Denver City and County Building. This display is definitely a sight to see, so be sure to stop by and take a look at the incredible show. Learn more here.

Cherry Creek Arts Festival 

Aside from the incredible firework displays Denver has, we also offer other fun activities to do over 4th of July weekend. One of the biggest events is the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, right in the heart of the popular neighborhood of Cherry Creek. Right on the 2nd and 3rd avenues from Clayton to Steele street, you can find live music, food & drinks, and 265 excellent artists from July 5th-7th. On Friday and Saturday, the festival starts at 10:00 AM and ends at 8:00 PM, and on Sunday the hours are from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The best part? Admission into the festival is completely free! If you're worried about parking, The Cherry Creek Shopping Center is also offering free daytime parking during the days of the event. Also, if you want to have a night out, on Friday and Saturday night they are also hosting Festival Nights from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This is a great family fun event with a lot of activities, art, and live entertainment that you can't miss! Learn more about the art festival here.

Being one of the most popular and most visited cities in the country, Denver is never lacking on fun things to do. You can do anything from riding electric scooters down the 16th Street Mall, visiting the world famous Brewing Companies in the art district of RiNo, or even going to the Denver Zoo. Even if you don't particularly enjoy the city life, you can drive about 20 minutes west and find yourself in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. But what is there to do in the mountains in the summer, you ask? You have an abundance of fun things to do, such as white water rafting, hiking, mountain biking, and visiting the historical mountain towns. The fun list of things to do in Denver could go on into INFINITI, but below are some of our favorite activities to do on the weekends here.

Go To A Concert At Red Rocks 

Watching a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a summer weekend must-do for anyone in the Denver area. The drive is only about 15-20 minutes from Downtown Denver heading west, and even the drive is astonishing. Once you get on i-70 and get close to the Red Rocks exit, you'll see some of the best views of your life between the mountain range and the Red Rocks themselves. The legendary amphitheater has hosted world famous artists since its opening in 1906 such as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and U2. Red Rocks puts on concerts every week during the summertime and tickets actually aren't too pricey for being one of the most popular concert venues in the world. Depending on the artist of course, the tickets usually range anywhere from $50 to $200, and what's great is they rarely even get to $200. In addition to seeing a concert at the amphitheater, you can also take part in Yoga On The Rocks, which typically takes place every Saturday morning during the summertime, and Film On The Rocks, which is where they play popular movies over a large screen. Red Rocks also has a fairly simple hike with fantastic views. Over all, seeing a concert at Red Rocks is a fun way to spend a Friday or Saturday night!

See A Rockies Game At Coors Field 

Being one of the most fun and entertaining baseball stadiums in the country, Colorado Rockies games never disappoint. The atmosphere is unlike any other, between the huge rooftop bar (the largest in the city of Denver!) and the crazy fan base, it's rare that anyone has a bad time at Coors Field. As you might know, baseball has the most games per year than any other sport, so there's plenty of games for you to choose from and also a few games a week you can usually choose from. Average tickets run from as low as $16 and go up to about $150 for seats close to the field, but the games are always fun no matter where you sit! If you're unable to make a game, we recommend doing the Coors Field Tour, which lasts about 70-80 minutes and is an in depth tour of the entire stadium. In addition to being a great place to watch a ball game, Coors Field also offers some of the best breweries in town and some of Denver's most famous restaurants actually have booths there including Biker Jim's and Helton Burger Shack. Definitely try and make a game before the summer is over, you won't regret it!

Visit The Wildlife At The Denver Zoo

The Denver Zoo is another great way to spend a nice warm day in Denver. Right in the heart of Downtown on the North End in Denver's City Park, the zoo is a total of 84 acres and houses nearly 4,000 animals and serves over 2 million guests per year. They house everything from Komodo Dragons to Gorillas, and they even have a carousel and train for the kids. The summer hours for the zoo are 9:00 am-4:00 pm, and the tickets are more affordable than you might think. For adults it's $20 a person, seniors $17, children $14, and kids 2 and under get in for free! Other than carrying tons of species, the zoo also hosts fun events throughout the year as well. During the holidays, the zoo hosts its famous Zoo Lights, which is when they put Christmas lights throughout the entirety of the zoo and it's definitely worth seeing in person. Be sure to visit the animals at some point this summer, it's a great way to spend the day with friends or family at an affordable price!

With our beautiful summers that we're lucky to get in Colorado, you have to drive the perfect car to go along with the great weather. Although all of our INFINITIS are excellent to drive, there are a few that are especially fun to drive in the summertime. Whether it be the body style or the amount of horsepower the vehicle has, here are a few of our favorite INFINITIS to drive during the summer.

The Q60 Coupe

Everyone could probably assume this is a no-brainier since it's always fun to ride in a coupe in beautiful warm weather, but there really is something special about driving a luxurious, fast car on a gorgeous day through the mountains of Colorado. Inside the hood of the Q60 lives the award winning 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 Engine, and the car generally runs at 300 horsepower. If you want to kick it up a notch, you should take the Q60 Red Sport out for a test drive. The Red Sport has the same engine as the regular coupe but with 400 horsepower, so it's quite the fun car to take out for a spin. Acceleration is instant and feels limitless and it is definitely one of the most comfortable coupes on the market, moving the seats at just the push of a button. Both coupes also have the option to come with a sunroof so you can really enjoy that summer breeze! For more research on the 2019 coupe, click here.

The Q50

If you're looking for a vehicle that's a little more spacious than the coupe but not quite an SUV, the Q50 is the INFINITI for you! This 4 door sedan is one of our most popular vehicles and has a sleek and sporty feel to it. For the standard Q50, it runs at around 200 horsepower and just as most of our vehicles, it also has the famous V6 twin-turbo engine. If you're wanting to up the torque, try out the Q50 Red Sport, running at 400 horsepower. Some of the features in the Q50 include Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, 26 highway miles per gallon, and the Dynamic Digital Suspension. On top of these key features and the many other safety features the Q50 provides, you also get an immense amount of cargo space. As a matter of fact, if you and a friend want to go golfing this summer, you both can fit your golf bags in the trunk! Overall, the Q50 is an excellent choice and one of the most luxurious and sportiest sedans on the market. To learn more about the all new Q50, click here.

The QX50 

The 2019 QX50 is generally a great car to have year round and is probably the most popular car we sell. There is tons of storage space, lots of safety features, and plenty of new technologies embedded in the car. If so equipped, you even have the option to have Heads Up Display, which projects a semi-transparent readout of key information onto the lower windshield. Another great feature in the new QX50 is the ProPilot Assist, which helps keep the QX50 centered in its lane and a set distance from the traffic in front of you, even around curves. Although this car is great to have in the winter due to the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, because of its sleek look and all of its unique features this is also a great car to ride around in all summer long. You will also be wow-ed at how large the sun-roof is, almost stretching to the back of the car, which is perfect for letting in those warm summer breezes. If you would like to learn more about the all new QX50, click here.

Summer is almost here, which means Golf season is almost finally here! Every year, the CoBank Colorado Open entertains some of the most prestigious golfers throughout the state. There are 3 big championship tournaments throughout the entirety of the summer, including the CoBank Colorado Women's Open (May 29th-31st), the CoBank Colorado Open (July 25th-28th), and the CoBank Colorado Senior Open (August 28th-30th).  To reach the prestigious championship tournaments, there can be up to 5 qualifiers you must overcome, which take place in the same month as each tournament. The Colorado Open Golf Foundation proudly hosts the CoBank Colorado Open Championships annually to benefit the programming efforts of The First Tee of Green Valley Ranch  and has long been recognized as one of the best if not the best state opens in the country.

The Colorado Open Golf Foundation is a nonprofit corporation that was put together for the primary purpose of fostering and encouraging the sport of Golf in the state of Colorado through financial aid to educational programs aimed at developing the interest and ability of Colorado's youth in the sport of golf and those who conduct or support clinics and otherwise provide coaching instruction for Colorado's youth, and for the secondary purpose of advancing the charitable purpose of promoting sportsmanship, recreation and health in the state of Colorado. With that being said, we are proud to be the Official Automotive Partner.

While attending the championship tournaments, be sure to take a closer look at some of our 2019 vehicles!
