Things To Do In Denver This Weekend — October 9 – 11

Get runway-ready before the official Denver Fashion Week Spring 2027 Model Auditions.
Many of DFW’s past workshop attendees achieved remarkable success during the DFW auditions – Build confidence & prepare to shine.

We are searching for fresh new talent — both traditional and non-traditional, ages 6 – 65, with confident personalities and strong runway presence and walk performance to join the DFW Spring/Summer 2027 runway shows. 

Punk history comes to Colfax with Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock joined by vocalist Frank Carter. For listeners who like their guitars abrasive and their choruses confrontational, this is Friday’s pick. The appeal goes beyond nostalgia: Carter brings his own presence to songs that helped define British punk.

Let the bass set the tone for your weekend. Tape B’s sound connects hip-hop samples and nostalgic textures with modern dubstep, making Hallow Rocks a natural choice for anyone who wants Friday to end on a drop. Jykl & Hyde, Gentlemens Club, Oliverse and Cozy Kev round out the official bill. Pack a layer for the outdoor evening.

Saturday belongs to the dance floor—or, in this case, the amphitheatre. Sara Landry’s hard-techno sound trades gentle background beats for pounding rhythms and relentless momentum. With Pendulum, Supergloss, and Lorely Mur on the official lineup, this is a pick for listeners who want a full evening of electronic music beneath the rocks.

If your idea of a good Saturday includes singing until your voice gives out, Sleeping With Sirens belongs on the list. The band’s blend of post-hardcore guitars, melodic hooks and Kellin Quinn’s distinctive vocals makes room for both heaviness and emotional release. The An Ending In Itself Tour stops at the Fillmore for an evening suited to longtime fans and anyone whose playlists still lean emo.

Some songs take you straight back to the first time you heard them. Michelle Branch’s Everywhere And Back Again Tour offers a Sunday built around the singer-songwriter whose catalog includes “Everywhere,” “All You Wanted” and “Goodbye to You.” SASAMI joins the bill for a pairing that connects familiar pop-rock melodies with a more adventurous alternative edge.

Guests can expect Casa Bonita to be completely taken over for the season: larger-than-life installations, signature cocktails, and seasonal décor throughout the restaurant. Costumes are welcomed and encouraged, so dust off your favorite looks while Casa Bonita’s own cast of roaming characters and performers guests know and love will be part of the celebration.

It’s easy: you love your friend, and now it’s time to show the singles of Denver why they should love them, too. All you have to do is create a 3-5 minute presentation to introduce your single friend to the crowd, highlighting what a great catch they are. Plus, you can fuel your presentation with bevs and bites from around the market while you pitch.

Expect a curated lineup from 2 Towns Ciderhouse, Bale Breaker Brewing Company, Bissell Brothers, Breakside Brewery, Foam Brewers, Forbidden Root, Ghost Town Brewing, Gold Dot, Grains of Wrath, Green Cheek Beer Co., ISM Brewing, La Cumbre Brewing Company, Monkish, Narragansett Beer, North Park Beer Co., Other Half, Perennial Artisan Ales, pFriem, Pinthouse, Riip Beer Co. and The Veil Brewing Co.

Discover exotic car displays, casino-inspired entertainment, live performances, and cocktails, followed by a late-night DJ set. Dress in your finest Monaco After Dark attire and join us for an evening designed to make an impression.

The setting may be new, but the spirit of GABF remains unmistakable: hundreds of breweries, thousands of beers, and a nationwide showcase of award-winning craft beverages, now amplified by fresh air, room to roam, and a renewed social spirit that only an outdoor festival can deliver.

Step into the sun-drenched world of Spain. The characters of Cervantes’ beloved novel come to life in this ballet by legendary choreographer Marius Petipa. Follow the adventures of Don Quixote and the passionate love story of Kitri and Basilio amid a spectacular cast of toreadors, fandango dancers, and dryads. 

Marking the culmination of his month-long residency, Still Figuring It Out embraces the wonderfully unfinished business of becoming. Through paintings shaped by graffiti, typography, relationships and everyday life, Melón turns personal experiences into open-ended stories – leaving just enough unsaid for viewers to find themselves within them.

Family Day at MCA Denver: an activity-packed, three-hour drop-in experience designed for kids, teens, and their adults.

The market will be set up on 16th street over the four blocks spanning between Curtis and Welton. Just like last year there will be music, art, clothing, activities, jewelry, and so much more!

Gabriela Montero’s visionary interpretations and unique compositional gifts have garnered her critical acclaim and a devoted following around the world. In her series debut, Montero presents a program inspired by the music of Spain—rich in color, rhythm, and expressive freedom, including works by Albéniz, Granados, Larrocha, and Scarlatti, with Liszt’s Spanish Rhapsody closing the program.
