Destination: Aurora

Visit Aurora has launched a brand new webisode campaign entitled Destination: Aurora.  This is going to be a campaign that really shows off the hidden, or maybe not so hidden, gems of the City.  The part that is going to make these stories even better is that they are not being told by us, but by the people who are invested in Colorado's third largest city. 

Colorado is known for being a state of great micro-breweries.  Aurora probably isn't the first city you think of visiting to sample the local beer flavors.  However, that may be changing very quickly, and our first webisode features a brewery that will have you dreaming of hefeweizen. 

Owner Kevin DeLange steps into the spotlight to tell the story of how Dry Dock Brewing Co. started, found success and now is planning expansion in the City of Aurora.

Aurora’s People Make the Difference

By Gary Wheat, President | CEO

Moving to a new city is always a challenge and at times a tad scary, but as Visit Aurora was formed and I moved to become a part of the City I truly found a warm embrace. It’s all about the Aurora people. Maybe being a Mississippi transplant, no one really understood a word I was saying? I like to think it was a sense of community and small town despite a city of over 330,000 residents. It’s all about the Aurora people.  Whether assisting a new non-profit charged with promoting Aurora as a destination or displaying neighborly courtesy, the Visit Aurora staff have truly found a home and have set about sharing just what a hospitable city it is with the rest of the world.

It’s all about the Aurora people. From the heroes at of each of Aurora’s world-class medical facilities to the brave men and women watching America’s back at Buckley Air Force Base, you find a willingness and desire to succeed and give back to the community. Ethnic communities come together to provide a better future while cherishing their homeland’s culture. And rest assured, it is that sense of community and hospitality that visitors to Aurora notice. They return to their respective homes to share with neighbors about the All America City of Aurora they experienced on their visit.

It‘s all about the Aurora people. So whether enjoying a performance at one of Aurora’s three theatres or experiencing the delicacies at one of Aurora’s ethnic restaurants, Visit Aurora hopes that you see the true sense of home that our new organization has discovered in our first year of existence. And if you happen to meet a visitor to our City, take a moment to say welcome and how much you appreciate them visiting your Aurora.

It’s all about the Aurora people.
