Labor Day weekend: Your last chance to wear white, according to very tired traditions that don't matter.
For the football fan this weekend: the Rocky Mountain Showdown between the Buffs and Rams comes to Broncos Stadium. If you're not into sports, A Taste of Colorado closes down Bannock Street for food and music all weekend. If you're hungover, Avanti F&B has your back on Sunday for a Labor Day brunch.
If you're looking for something fun (at least for kids), the Kidz Bop World Tour is headed to Red Rocks on Sunday to sing today's top hits according to rugrats.
The Denver Art Museum's monthly Untitled Final Friday covers A(me)ricana. Dive in and get hands-on with the creative process.
Good luck out there, and try not to get hot sauce on your white shirt.
