This Weekend In Denver

Magnify the image

PrideFest Denver

Following up on our amazingly successful Bloomsday entertainment recommendation, here's our super official recommendations for spending this weekend in Denver.

All bikeable. All local. Mostly free or cheap.

  • Critical Mass is Friday - Seal Fountain Pool in Civic Center Park.
  • “The Play’s the Thing” New Play Festival - Free readings of new plays at 7PM Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The theatre is located at 2180 Stout Street (Stout Street and 22nd Street), next to the Mercury Cafe.
  • Cherry Blossom Festival - Dancing, drumming, ikebana and bonsai lectures, and food. There's even a Spam sushi demonstration. Saturday evening, if this year is like earlier years, there's dancing under the lanterns. Many of the dancers wear lovely kimonos. Between Lawrence and Larimer, and 19th and 20th - Sakura Square.
  • Starz Film Center - Maybe it's because the Denver French Film Festival is on. Maybe it's a reinvigorated Denver Film Society. Whatever it is, Starz is showing a bunch of intriguing films this weekend. This costs cash, but the Film Society needs it.
  • Volunteer to park bikes at PrideFest - BikeDenver needs volunteers. Always more fun to be involved. And even for straight folk PrideFest is a hoot.
  • Cowtown Comix Fest - Saturday 1-5 at Tattered Downtown. That's at 1628 16th St (16th & Wynkoop) Downtown Denver. "Meet Denver comics creators that are making unusual, personal, artistic, and/or literary comics outside the mainstream, view their work, and hear them talk." Free.
  • The Denver PrideFest Parade - If there's a better Denver parade to watch, we don't know what it is. Sunday, starts at Cheesman at 9:30 AM and then proceeds to the Civic Center.
  • La Popular tamales - for a people-watching picnic at Civic Center or at Confluence.

Rocky Hillside

In the dark of the moon, in the flying snow, in the dead of winter,

war spreading, families dying, the world in danger,

I walk the rocky hillside, sowing clover.
