Denver listeners, if you are looking for things to do this weekend, you are in for a treat. The Mile High City is bursting with events to keep you entertained, engaged, and inspired from now through Sunday. First up, Denver Arts Week is officially underway and runs November 7 through 16. This is a major citywide celebration with more than 500 events including gallery openings, mural tours, pop-up performances, and interactive installations across Denver neighborhoods. Be sure to catch the First Friday Art Walks tonight, a popular tradition during Arts Week, and don’t miss Night at the Museums on Saturday. That’s when twenty of Denver’s top museums open their doors for free from 5 to 10 p.m., a perfect opportunity for families, friends, and anyone curious about Denver’s vibrant arts and science scene. Denver Arts Week events can be found at denverartsweek dot com, and according to Denver7, there are fantastic bargains and experiences waiting for you. Saturday is your chance to show some love to the men and women who have served our country at the Denver Veterans Day Parade, Run, and Festival in City Park. The Colorado Veterans Project is hosting the annual run, parade, and a free family-friendly festival with live music, military displays, activities for kids, and local vendors. Festivities kick off early, so lace up for the 5K or just enjoy the parade and stick around for the live performances. Film fans, don’t miss the 48th Denver Film Festival wrapping up this weekend. Screenings and filmmaker Q&As are spread throughout several venues—expect an impressive lineup including award-winners and creative conversations with directors.
