Happy Labor Day weekend, Denverites!

Enjoy some time outside this weekend at a Colorado Rockies game, a local farmers market, or the 102nd annual Windsor Harvest Festival. This weekend is also your last chance to visit Water World and Elitch Gardens for the 2024 season.

If you’re looking to get out of Denver, consider the Boulder Art Festival, the Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off, a hot air balloon ride, or the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo.

Whatever you do, have a great weekend!
