Let's kick off the weekend, Denver!
Mercury Café is hosting a comedy show Friday highlighting Native American comedians such as Korey Herrera and Joshua Fournier, and even more farmers' markets are opening, including one in University Hills and another in City Park.
If you're looking for a safe way to get around Denver this weekend, grab a helmet and a scooter or bike. (ICYMI, Denver officials selected Lime and Lyft to operate shared bikes and scooters in the city.)
Note: Events with an * are taking place in-person.
