Denver is buzzing this weekend with some truly incredible events that'll get you out of the house and into the action. Whether you're a sports fan, culture enthusiast, or just looking for something fun to do, we've got you covered.
Let's start with the big one. Denver Summit FC is making history tomorrow, Saturday, March 28th, with their inaugural home game at Empower Field at Mile High. This is the first-ever match for Denver's brand new National Women's Soccer League team, and they're taking on the Washington Spirit. Gates open at 10 AM with kickoff at noon, and tickets start at just 31 dollars. If you can't snag tickets to the stadium, head over to McGregor Square where there's a giant jumbotron showing the game from noon to 3 PM, completely free.
But wait, there's more happening on the pitch this weekend. The Golden State Warriors are coming to town on Sunday night to face off against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena. Tip-off is at 8 PM, and tickets start at 46 dollars. The Nuggets are fighting hard to solidify their playoff position, so this should be an intense matchup.
If you're looking for something quirky and unforgettable, head to Estes Park for the Frozen Dead Guys Days festival. This celebration of a bizarre but fascinating tale features coffin races, a polar plunge, an 8K race, a bar crawl, and the Royal Blue Ball. The main festival runs from noon to 9 PM on Saturday at the Estes Park Events Complex. This one's definitely worth the drive for the sheer novelty alone.
For something a bit closer to home, the Denver Home Show is happening all weekend at the LVC at the National Western Center, running through Sunday. Celebrity guest Ben Higgins will be there, and listeners can explore feature gardens and tons of home improvement inspiration. Admission is 11 dollars.
If you're into Celtic culture, the Durango Celtic Festival is going strong in southwestern Colorado this weekend with three days of modern Celtic music from Ireland, Scotland, the Hebrides, and Cape Breton.
