The Ultimate Summer Kickoff
During Memorial Day weekend, May 23–26, and the following week, enjoy high-energy events such as the Outside Festival, live music (hint: DJ Fisher is hosting an epic block party), stunning museum exhibitions, outdoor activities and urban exploration like street art and craft beer along the Denver Beer Trail. There are some great hotel deals, too.
There are lots of ways to fall in love with Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, but seeing a concert surrounded by towering sandstone is truly unforgettable—just ask the legends who’ve played here.
With blue skies and sunshine, patio season is nearly year-round in Denver, but summer takes it to the next level. From rooftop terraces to garden escapes, soak up the views while dining alfresco.
