This list is created manually each year by me by gathering information on every
website that is included in this document. I create this list annually, as a form
of community service and as a way of paying it forward so that as many people
as possible can benefit from the information and enjoy what our cities have to offer.
Please feel free to pass this on to all your family, friends, co-workers, and
customers. Also, please feel free to post this at your work, churches, community
centers, etc.
I hope you have a wonderful summer full of FREE and CHEAP HAPPENINGS
IN METRO DENVER!
P.S. If you are an event organizer I did my best to find all the events posted on the
web for your city or event. For next year, please feel free to send me your event
listings by May 1 and I will gladly add them to my list. Thanks! Also, if you know
of an event that was not listed, please send it to me in an email so that I can add it
to next years list. Thanks!

Denver- South Pearl Street Summer Music Festival- June 11 and August 13
http://southpearlstreet.com/events/
What happens when you mix a warm summer afternoon, ice-cold draft beer, and some fun, funky music? You
get the South Pearl Street Music Festivals. Inaugurated in 2007, the brainchild of a South Pearl Street
merchant, the first Blues & Brews debuted on August 11th on the 1200 block of South Pearl Street.
The street was closed and featured a stage at the northern end of the block and farmers market vendors, craft
beer brewers, and some local blues bands rocked into the night. Hoping to attract 1,000 people and not to lose
too much money, the event was a huge success with more than 5,000 people on the street and–like any great
party–a last minute beer run! The first year’s success encouraged the merchants to add a second event,
dubbed BrewGrass.

confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never
done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the
fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.

Wave Racer, Roadkill Ghost Choir plus more than 100 local bands and artists still to be announced.
The Showcase is a celebration of our state's vibrant music scene. Colorado is home to internationally
renowned experimental bands, pioneering folk artists, Grammy winners and much, much more. On most nights
in Denver, you can see just about any kind of show you like, from bluegrass to hip-hop to hardcore punk. The
sheer magnitude of the state's musical output can be daunting — so whether you're new to the scene, hoping
to expand your horizons or just looking for a party, the Westword Music Showcase is a good place to start.
Colorado's musical exports are matched by its imports: Legendary venues and enthusiastic fans ensure that
bands from around the world route their tours to include a swing through the Rocky Mountains. We'll host a few
of those visitors at the Showcase — on our outdoor main stage in the heart of Denver — along with the best
local talent the city has to offer.
June 25-26 Denver South Platte Riverfest
http://www.thegreenwayfoundation.org/south-platte-riverfest.html

This two day festival is Denver's premier urban RiverFest. Activities will include free stand up paddle board
demos, a variety of riverside recreational activities, a kids zone, live music, beer, food vendors, and more.
The Coors Light South Platte RiverFest benefits The Greenway Foundation. For the past 40 years, The
Greenway Foundation has worked to reclaim, restore, and revitalize the South Platte River and its tributaries in
Denver. These efforts have led to the construction of over 100 acres of riverside parks, over 100 miles of
interconnected greenway trails, and the elimination of over 250 sources of direct pollution into our urban
waterways. The RiverFest is an inclusive event, with a little something for everyone. We invite adults, kids,
friends, and families to join us for this celebration of Denver's urban waterways! As much as we love furry
friends, please leave them at home. Last year we had 20,000 people attend this event, which can be quite
scary and over-whelming for even the best trained pooch. Service animals are always welcome, but please
make sure they are properly identified. Saturday, June 25th, 2016 10 am - 8 pm Sunday, June 26th, 2016

June 24-26- Estes Park Scandinavian Midsummer Dance Festival
www.estesmidsummer.com
The Festival takes place in Bond Park, in downtown Estes Park at the intersection of Elkhorn (the main street)
and MacGregor Ave.
Scandinavians celebrate the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, with a festival of light, flowers, food
and music. The summer solstice celebration has its roots in pre-Christian practices and is a day when the
spirits of nature join the human community to rejoice in the long days of summer. Midsummer was originally a
fertility festival with many customs and rituals associated with nature and with the hope for good harvest in
autumn. People gather to sing and dance around the festive maypole, women wear flower wreaths on their
heads, and some people dress in traditional folk costume. It is a time to escape to the country to spend a
relaxing time in nature - a time to connect with friends and family and exuberantly honor the joys of life.

Spring Festival
Our Spring Festival is designed for groups of 10 or more, and is designed to teach school children about how
plants are started at our farm. We take a short tour through the green houses and we also let each child plant
a seed and transplant a flower. They then take the plants home or back to the school and watch them in the
various stages of growth. Depending on the weather and the time of your visit, we may also take a ride out to
our fields and show the student's how we plant here at the farm. If there is early produce growing, we may
also allow each child to pick a small amount of vegetables to take home. Please keep in mind that the weather
plays a big part in what is ready and when.
The cost per student is $5.00 per student. Chaperons, teachers and bus drivers are free.
Haunted Adventure!
Oct 10th - Oct 31 2013 (All day) dark until 10:00pm nightly
There has been some mysterious activity on the farm recently and we have discovered three silver pod-like
discs that appeared on our property last night. We are unsure of what these are but they appear to be some
type of alien craft. We are requesting that a few brave souls to come to the farm and help us discover what
these ships are and what may be inside them. We have heard sounds from within. Each night at dark we will
take a small group of brave-hearted folks to the fields and check out the ships. Every night we will wait until
darkness can cover our approach to the crafts in case there is a hostile entity within. It costs only $10.00 per
person and only $5.00 per person if you paid to harvest and decide to stay with us for the evening’s activities.
For reservations or questions, please call 970-785-6133 or send an email [email protected]. And
remember, 1/2 of the proceeds are going to this years Colorado flood victims. For reservations or questions,
please call 970-785-6133 or send an email to [email protected]. BE WARNED! This is not for the
faint of heart!

Miller Farms (continued)
Fall Harvest Festival
Labor Day - Mid Nov (All day) 9 am -6 pm daily
Our fall festival gives everyone the opportunity to not only explore the farm, but to also harvest their own
vegetables! During the fall harvest, everyone takes a tractor ride to our fields with stops along the way to pick
their own vegetables. They’ll get the fun and educational experience of putting their hands in the dirt, and the
rewarding benefit of picking fresh produce to take home to their families. All of our activities and harvesting are
included in the cost of admission. Begin your day with a visit to our petting zoo, followed by navigating your
way through our corn maze. Play in the giant jumping balloon, climb on the fire truck, slide down the giant hill,
and then the fun really begins! Enjoy your lunch in our picnic area, where we've got dozens of covered tables
set up for your convenience. We have trash barrels and washing stations throughout, as well as several
portable restrooms. Take our hayride through 180 acres of fields where you can pick your own vegetables—
potatoes, carrots, onions, beets, Indian corn, squash, peppers, and the list goes on! You may even get your
very own pumpkin to take with you. If you aren’t up to picking your own, we always have plenty of produce on
hand in the roadside stand. We also have our chile roaster going for a wonderful treat! We do offer snacks,
drinks and other delicious treats.
Questions? Call us at (970)-785-6133 or email us at [email protected]

Longmont- 2nd Friday in Downtown Longmont- January-December
http://www.downtownlongmont.com/calendar/second-fridays
On the 2nd Friday of each month from 6 – 9 p.m. Downtown Longmont Creative District features gallery
openings, promotions and activities taking place throughout the district. Come down to see what’s new and join
the excitement!
Longmont Art Walk May 21, July 16, and Sept 17 from 4:00-8:00pm
http://www.downtownlongmont.com/calendar/artwalk
ArtWalk Longmont began in 1996 as a monthly gallery hop sponsored by several local arts organizations,
galleries, businesses and the media in Longmont, Colorado. In 1997, the Scientific Cultural and Facilities
District (SCFD) made it possible for ArtWalk to add music to its events through indoor and outdoor venues.
When several of Longmont's art galleries closed, ArtWalk worked to keep the arts alive in downtown.
The “new” ArtWalk approached businesses and asked them to partner with ArtWalk by hosting art and music,
and transforming their business and stores into art galleries for the three annual ArtWalk events.
In 2007 ArtWalk began closing Main Street between 3rd and 6th Avenues. ArtWalk transforms the downtown
for three fabulous nights each year and offer the public a chance to experience more than 10 live musicians,
live performances, see art being created by local artists, view the work of over 20 visual artists, engage in
children's art activities, and experience Historic Downtown Longmont in a fun, festive atmosphere.
Mission Statement: ArtWalk Longmont promotes the arts in historical downtown Longmont.

1500 block of S. Pearl Street
On a picture perfect Sunday morning in September, 2001, Charlotte Elich and Carrie Vadas of 5 Green Boxes
launched the first South Pearl Street Farmers Market. Wanting to create an event that would bring neighbors to
the street regularly, the first market was a single day event with just ten vendors. The day was a rousing
success, and today– thirteen seasons later–the market has grown to 27 weeks, with more than sixty vendors
and thousands of shoppers and aficionados. Managed by our friends at HobNob Events for the past eight
years, the market has seen many vendors. We would like to specially acknowledge Ela Family Farms, known
far and wide for their mouth-watering peaches and apples from the Western Slope, and Styria Bakery,
legendary for their fresh baked bread, both of whom have been with us since that very first day in 2001.
