If summer hasn't felt like summer without a day at Red Rocks, I've got good news! The park and amphitheatre is open with drive-in movies and fitness events happening throughout the weekend. Or, get your outdoors fix in the city with Dancin' on the Lawn by Cleo Parker Robinson Dance. On Saturday, enjoy the summer night and learn some new moves all while at a safe distance from others.
Or, join Denver Film and Itchy-O for an interactive and high energy drive-in concert. On Friday and Saturday, park your car at the Mission Ballroom and be immersed in the performance and music. If you're in the mood for something more low-key, stay home and stream the Ned Garthe Explosion at noon on Friday as they perform from the roof of MCA Denver. Or, check out live-streamed concerts by Colorado artists at six every night this weekend on Swallow Hill Music's Facebook page.
