Denver's COVID numbers continue to decline, the city loosened its restrictions a few weeks ago, and some in-person events are returning. We're monitoring the numbers closely in case any of that changes, but for now, at least, we're going to start reincorporating some in-person events back into this calendar. Stay safe, and enjoy!
