What’s the best bar for Denver Broncos fans? Who has the best buffet?
What about the best nail salon or tire shop?
And where’s the best place to propose or do yoga?
You’ll find all the answers in The Gazette’s 2025 Best of the Springs magazine. We solicited readers for their opinions in more than 350 categories, and about 30,000 voters chimed in. And now you can find out the winners by attending the largest Best of the Springs party in 30 years. The ticketed event is 6-8 p.m. Thursday at Norris Penrose Event Center.
For $50, attendees will get food samples from more than 15 Best of the Springs winners in the Pikes Peak region, including Bonefish Grill, Little Nepal, Salsa Latina, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Fujiyama and Slice 420. A cash bar also is available. The admission fee also includes a copy of the new magazine, which will be included in Sunday’s Gazette for subscribers or available for purchase at The Gazette, 30 E. Pikes Peak Ave., for $10.99 beginning Monday. Lobby hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Gazette publisher Chris Reen and a representative from sponsor BioFunctional Health Solutions will give a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Heps DJ will be on hand throughout the night, as well as local band SofaKillers doing covers from the ’80s through today. Life’s a Snap and Mike’s Camera will offer a photo booth and other photos. Painting With a Twist will give people the chance to paint a blown-up version of the Best of the Springs cover.
