Later tonight, Red Rocks turns up the volume as AEG and 97.3 KBCO present O.A.R. with special guests Gavin DeGraw and Phantom Planet, according to Denver Arts and Venues and the concert site Songkick. It’s one of the big outdoor shows of the week, and a perfect excuse to escape the city for Morrison while still staying close to home.

Around town today, Visit Denver highlights the Spirit Colorado Festival in the River North Art District, better known as RiNo. This is a great option for listeners who love local craft spirits, food trucks, and live entertainment surrounded by murals and converted warehouses. It’s a chance to sample Colorado-made whiskey, gin, and more while exploring one of Denver’s most creative neighborhoods. Sports fans aren’t left out either. A Juneteenth events roundup on social media points to a full slate of things to do around town this weekend, plus the Colorado Rockies hosting the Milwaukee Brewers, giving listeners a reason to head down to Coors Field for a summer game and some classic ballpark food. Looking ahead to the rest of the week, Cherry Creek North’s event archive notes ongoing summer happenings like European soccer match screenings at Le Colonial on Fillmore Street, letting listeners catch international football with cocktails and upscale bites. Meanwhile, Visit Denver also lists a U.S. Open PGA Championship watch party running through the weekend, perfect for golf fans who want to soak in the major-tournament vibes with fellow enthusiasts instead of watching alone at home. And don’t forget, next weekend Denver’s Japanese American community will be gearing up for the Denver Cherry Blossom Festival, as teased on Instagram by local creators. That takes place in Sakura Square downtown and features taiko drumming, cultural performances, and some of the best Japanese festival food in the city, so listeners may want to plan ahead.

If you’re in Denver and wondering what to do this week, you’ve picked a fantastic time to explore the city. Let’s dive into some of the standout events and experiences happening around town over the next several days. First up, the city is still buzzing from the Juneteenth Music Festival in the historic Five Points neighborhood.

For something a little more cinematic and nostalgic, Denver Arts and Venues reports that the Colorado Symphony is presenting Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in Concert at Boettcher Concert Hall June 20 and 21. The film plays on the big screen while the full orchestra performs John Williams’ iconic score live. It’s a great pick for families, date nights, or anyone who grew up on the Wizarding World and wants a new way to experience it. History and train fans also have a treat this week. The Colorado Railroad Museum notes that Colorado Railroad Heritage Week kicks off on June 21, celebrating 150 years of Colorado statehood with special programming, historic locomotives, and hands-on exhibits just a short drive from downtown Denver. It’s a perfect daytime outing if listeners want something kid-friendly that still feels unique to Colorado.
