The Sunnyside Music Festival returns this year with a few pandemic-friendly tweaks. Keep an eye out for pedi-cabs carrying live musicians along 44th Avenue between Tejon and Federal, allowing folks to enjoy live music from a safe distance. You can catch the rest of the lineup broadcast from Indie 102.3 FM and get in the festival spirit by purchasing a Nest Box complete with merch, libations and local eats.
Or, join the Denver Art Museum (virtually) for the 31st Annual DAM Friendship Powwow. The powwow brings together dancers from across the United States and will feature a virtual crafts marketplace and a class for making American Indian cuisine.
Catch some low-key vibes, barbeque and live music at the Larimer Lounge on Sunday. With free, first-come first-sat admission, the 128 Collective's Family Dinner might be the perfect way to close out your weekend and while being wallet-friendly.
