The weather forecast for Denver this coming Memorial Day weekend looks great so we thought we might share a few highlights of some of our favorite things to do with a 3 Day Holiday Weekend! Whether it’s health, music, the arts… there is a little something for everyone.
The Bolder Boulder – Monday
The Bolder Boulder 10K is considered to be one of the most popular races in the entire country… maybe the world. Runners enjoy the spectacular mountain and flatiron views, live bands, belly dancers, and a triumphant finish running into the University stadium.
Registration is open all the way up until the day of so it’s not to late to do something healthy on Memorial day, and they have designated memorial bib options to recognize someone in your life.
The Day of Rock – Sunday
Feel like some great music for a great cause. Celebrating their fifth year Denver Day of Rock takes over the 16th Street mall for a full day rock concert. Sponsored by Newmont Mining, Denver’s Day of Rock is a fundraising event for Concert for Kids, a Denver-based, non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 50 children’s charities.
Downtown Denver Arts Festival – May 24th – 26th
Every Memorial Day weekend the Denver Performing Arts Center Complex sets up for the Downtown Denver Arts Festival. The fine art and fine craft exhibition features some of Colorado's and the nation's best artists with over 150,000 people expected to attend.
Water World Opening Weekend – Sunday
Looking for something family friendly to do this weekend. With a nice weather forecast don’t forget that it is Water World’s opening weekend. Celebrate opening weekend at Denver's 67-acre water park, home to more than 65 aquatic attractions.
Elitch Gardens

All the rides look to be up and running and waiting for a nice family friendly fun day this weekend. Visit Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park website for more details.
Memorial Day Parade and Tribute Ceremony – May 25th
