Hiya, Denver. Are you ready for the weekend?
On Friday, celebrate Juneteenth by heading to City Park for the Juneteenth Silent March and Rally. Or go on Saturday to We Live: Juneteenth Celebration at Civic Center Park.
Denver's Pride weekend has gone (mostly) virtual this year. Catch performances by drag superstars, watch this year's digital parade or indulge in some all you can drink beer at the Triangle supporting Colorado LGBTQ+ charities.
On Father's Day, bring the dads in your life to Dazzle @ Baur's or the Brown Palace. With a brunch menu, breakfast drinks and live music, dad will be feeling the love this weekend.
