Weekender - 4th of July Holiday Edition

WOO HOO For Holiday Weekends!! I hope that, like myself, many of you are privileged to have Friday off, making for a fine 3 day weekend to relax and enjoy. The In-laws are in town through the weekend, so I am going to try to balance a little time by my pool with some activities for MIL and BIL's girlfriend that are "chick approved" and a bit more relaxed then what sounds like a whirlwind 3 days they just spent driving all over every day in the Mts.. (sorry I missed that.. really...) Maybe CC for the Arts festival and the farmers market... who knows.



Anyway, here's some highlights for you!

7/3-7/5 - The Cherry Creek Arts Festival is always fun, this is the 19th year for the festival, which features booths, demonstrations, and performances from visual, musical, culinary, and performing artists, all lining the (closed to traffic) streets of CC North. This is one of my faves.
Here is their website, check it out for yourself.

7/3 - It is First Friday at Fashion Denver - sounds like a fun and free way to discover some local designers (if you haven't checked out the Fashion Denver space yet) and get to know the funky little strip they inhabit in the Golden Triangle. Grab more info here.

7/3 it is also First Friday Art Walk at the Santa Fe Arts district from 6-9pm.. stroll the galleries and find some new favorites. See their website for more info.

If North Denver is more your speed, Tennyson Street has their North Denver Art Walk and celebration from 6-10pm as well. Galleries intermingle with plenty of cute shops and restaurants in this area, check out the website and make your plans!

7/4 - Did somebody say fireworks? Well it wasn't me, I prefer to cower many miles away from the thunderous booms and misguided ashes, but if you want a piece of the action, here is a list of places to go see the rockets bursting in air up close and personal. If you need me, I will be under the bed with the dog.

7/5 - Sundays always mean City Park Jazz (my friend Kristen has has some particularly adventurous moments at the weekly concert this season, martinis in the park = No). Here is the website, so pack a picnic and chill your wine, grab your blankies and lawn chairs and head on over to squeeze the last few precious hours out of the holiday weekend!

As always, tell DiD what you are doing and what fabulous and frugal activities should be here that aren't, and check back for updates.

Happy Holiday Weekend!!
