Saturday kicks off in Denver with the buzz of the Tennyson St. Fair, running from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tennyson Street between 39th and 43rd. This annual block party is all about family fun with live music, food trucks, games, a beer garden, yoga in the sun, and plenty of unique local vendors. The fair has a reputation for packing the avenue with energy, so it's a must for those who want a true neighborhood experience. Denver7 highlights the event as a place to bring friends, family, or just your Denver spirit.

Looking for something a little more rebellious? The National Western Stockyards roars to life this weekend for Punk in the Park, a three-day music festival belting out sets from punk legends like Bad Religion, Dropkick Murphys, and Pennywise. With 40 bands on two stages and a festival crowd that loves to mosh, it's the perfect fix for those who want high energy and a little nostalgia.

Fans of craft brews can head to the Berkeley Beer Fest at The Empourium Brewing Co. from 5 to 8 p.m. Sip on samples from some of Denver’s best breweries, compete in beer games, and soak in the laid-back vibes of this West Denver favorite, as featured by Denverite. Or, if the city bustle isn't enough, consider a quick drive to Littleton for the Lavender Festival at Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms on Sunday, where rows of purple blooms, live music, and lavender-laced treats promise a delight for the senses.

Coors Field sees the Colorado Rockies face off against the Minnesota Twins for a homestand, with first pitches flying at 6:10 p.m. Saturday and 1:10 p.m. Sunday according to Denverite. It’s prime time for baseball fans to catch America’s pastime amid Denver's summer sun.

Saturday night, Red Rocks Amphitheatre hosts The String Cheese Incident and Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country for those who want to dance under the stars at one of the nation’s most iconic music venues, as listed by Denver Arts & Venues. Sunday night brings the soulful Alabama Shakes with Lee Fields to the same legendary stage, promising a musical wind-down to the weekend.

Anyone seeking a bit of culture can join the Downtown Denver Public Art Bicycle Tour, running all summer and offering a rolling exploration of the city’s growing mural scene. And for film buffs, the Colorado Symphony presents Jurassic Park in Concert at Boettcher Concert Hall, where the movie roars to life backed by a full orchestra.

Don’t forget the weekly pop-up markets—Denver BAZAAR at Larimer Square and Urban Market at Union Station—showcasing local artisans, food vendors, and a festive atmosphere.
