Denver is a bustling city in which many events and activities take place. This is especially true during the warmer months of the summer when the idea of going outside to enjoy the sun or simply walking through the city without it hailing down on you is a welcome change.

This article aims to shed light on some of the exciting activities that you can look forward to for the upcoming summer season in Denver.

Food Halls and Markets

A big thing that comes to town, especially during the warmer months of summer, are the food halls and markets that take place. It is almost impossible to not find a lush and calming farmer’s market on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Wake up bright and early and partake in what is known as ‘from farm to table’ where you can purchase the finest and most artisanal products, such as fresh free-range meat, homemade candles, GMO-free vegetables and the list continues.

If you are busy on the weekends and prefer going out in the evenings after work, no stress, Denver’s finest food halls have you covered there. Be sure to look out for the food halls that take place in the evenings, where you can get your hands on a freshly cooked dinner in a market-style hall.

One of the best things about the warm weather in summer is the fact that the days are longer, which means that you can enjoy these night food hall markets into the wee hours of the morning. Creating a completely different way of spending your evening in comparison to visiting a restaurant in the city. These markets and food halls offer an eclectic experience, they attract tourists from around the world and allow Denver locals to immerse themselves into their own food culture.

Sporting Events

One of the most exciting events that you can look forward to in Denver will be all the sports events taking place. Whether you’re a baseball, basketball or volleyball fan – Denver has you covered. There will be a large amount of sporting events taking place both outdoors and indoors. You will want to keep an eye on the events happening around your area, so that you can snag a ticket the moment sales are online. Whether you are going to watch the Denver Nuggets place live in the hometown arena or stop by a local volleyball tournament, you are in for a treat. If you get dragged to a sporting event you’re not interested in, fret not, you can also hop onto a casino online game to keep you company, however, with the level of athleticism that the people of Denver portray, it is doubtful that you will get bored.

Carnivals and Circus Visits

The circus is coming to town! During the summer months, organized establishments such as the Cirque du Soleil and other circus or carnival acts, know that there will most likely be many tourists or locals wanting to go and do exciting things, which is why these events often come to town during the peak season, to ensure that they sell tickets.

If you are more of a watcher than a doer, then going to see a thrilling event such as the circus could be a great option for you. There are many different types of carnivals and circuses happening all around the town, so be sure to keep an eye out for any posters or banners that you see close to your house. Do not make the mistake of leaving the purchasing of a ticket to the last minute, as you will most likely be unable to find available slots, as these events do not happen often and therefore the tickets are sold quickly. This is a more eclectic event that you can go to but will for sure be one for the books!

Outdoor Activity Events

Another big thing to look out for is any kind of outdoor activities that you can partake in. Doing exercise and staying healthy should be at the forefront of many people’s priorities, however, during the cooler months it can be difficult to go out for a run or enjoy some frisbee in the park. This is exactly why you should make the most out of the summer season in Denver.

Look for groups that highlight their summer specials, who knows, you might even find outdoor activities that you can be part of that are completely complimentary and don’t cost you a thing. Some ideas could be looking for a running club that meets up a few times a week, either in the morning or the evening and does an organized running session. This can be a great way to get outdoors, do some exercise and enjoy the fresh air. Plus it is also a good opportunity for you to make friends and meet others from Denver. However, if running is not exactly your cup of tea, you can also look for other outdoor activities such as frisbee, soccer or volleyball. You can always sign up for the beginner group or message the host of the event to ask the level of capability you need and then just go for it. Do not let the fear of not being able to keep up stop you from partaking in something that could be fun.
