By Cassidy Ritter, Special to Denverite
Weekend events range from a runway show and dance party hosted by MCA to Easter egg hunts and photos with an Easter bunny.
If you’re looking for live music, Wiz Khalifa and Sublime are performing at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. If you want something quieter, the Denver Public Library is hosting a silent pages reading event on the N-Line Friday.
The Colorado Rockies are in town, and the Denver Nuggets have a home playoff game on Saturday.
Whatever you do, make it a great weekend!
