This list is created manually each year by me gathering information on every
website that is included in this document. I create this list annually, as a form
of community service and as a way of paying it forward so that as many people
as possible can benefit from the information and enjoy what our cities have to offer.
Please feel free to pass this on to all your family, friends, co-workers, and
customers. Also, please feel free to post this at your work, churches, community
centers, or Facebook etc.
If you are on Facebook check out the Free & Cheap Happenings in Metro Denver group page. This group page contains the full free list document as well as events that I discover throughout the year that aren’t yet on the list:
I hope you have a wonderful summer full of FREE and CHEAP HAPPENINGS
IN METRO DENVER!
P.S. If you are an event organizer I did my best to find all the events posted on the
internet for your city or event. For next year, please feel free to send me your event
listings by May 1 and I will gladly add them to my list. Thanks! Also, if you know
of an event that was not listed, please send it to me in an email so that I can post it on the Free & Cheap Happening in Metro Denver Facebook group and so I can add it
to next year’s list. Thanks!

Get into the Halloween mood with spooky Victorian-era stories told around warm, roaring bonfires. This event will be held on two evenings: Friday October 20, and Saturday, October 21, from 7 to 10 p.m. each night. Visitors are asked to arrive no later than 8:00 p.m.
We are mixing things up this year and have done away with guided tours. Instead, with schedule in hand, you choose where to go and which stories to listen to. Or take a break and head into the 1890s farmhouse for some fun Victorian fortune-telling Halloween games. Come with your own spook story to share at our community bonfire (where we’ll also be roasting marshmallows).
This is an outdoor event, so please dress for the weather. And if you are scared of the dark, bring along a small flashlight (nothing that will blind the other guests, please). This event is appropriate for ages 10 and older (please do not bring young children or babies, they will just be bored); and children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets go on sale at the Littleton Museum on Sunday, October 1st. Tickets must be purchased in advance and cost $5.00 each (we can accept only cash or check, no credit cards). There is a limited number of tickets for this event, so get yours early!

The Garden of the Ghouls is not designed to be appropriate for children under the age of 10. Our performers are not able to restructure their performances for younger or vulnerable audiences if they become excessively scared. Please use your best judgment. The BOO BAYOU children's area with it's much gentler Halloween thrills, is perfect for the younger spooks, but if you do decide to bring your child(ren) under 10 to the Garden of the Ghouls, the child(ren) must be accompanied by a parent at all times.
Due to the popularity of this event, the admission line will be cut off prior to the end of the event in order to adhere to the 9 p.m. closing time.

Arvada 4th of July Festival –July 4th 7:00 pm until after fireworks
Stenger Sports Complex
Entry at 58th Avenue and Oak Street
Since 1979, the City of Arvada has celebrated Independence Day with a spectacular fireworks display at the Stenger Sports Complex. Beginning in 2002, the Arvada Festivals Commission expanded the event to include vendors, live music, and other activities.
This year, Arvada’s Independence Day Celebration returns to its roots, focusing on the core of the holiday--fireworks! For the past few months, the Festivals Commission, City staff including the Police Department, and City Council have reviewed the 4th of July event in terms of resource allocation, staffing, and volunteers. In recent years, organizing a day-long event has become increasingly difficult. Problems included:
Insufficient volunteers
Police department staffing levels are impacted by the amount of resources needed to manage the event and surrounding neighborhoods adequately. The PD staffing schedule is compressed for the event, limiting available resources days prior to and after the event.
Minimal community vendors and food vendors interested in participating
Limited parking
Conflicts with the surrounding neighborhood
Inability to secure sufficient traffic barricades and cones due to high level of construction in the metropolitan area
After much conversation and based upon the recommendation of the Festivals Commission, the City has made the decision to return the 4th of July celebration to its original intent--a display of fireworks in the evening to celebrate America’s independence.
Gates open to vehicles at 7 p.m.; Fireworks begin approximately 9 p.m.
Free parking on a first-come, first-served basis
W. 58th Ave. will shut down to traffic beginning 8 p.m.
Handicap parking available in the Stenger northeast parking lot
No Recreational Vehicles allowed
Only propane grills allowed
No alcohol, personal fireworks, or pets are allowed

Longmont- 2nd Friday in Downtown Longmont- January-December
On the 2nd Friday of each month from 6 – 9 p.m. Downtown Longmont Creative District features gallery openings, promotions and activities taking place throughout the district. Come down to see what’s new and join the excitement!
Longmont Art Walk May thru Sept from 4:00-8:00pm
ArtWalk Longmont began in 1996 as a monthly gallery hop sponsored by several local arts organizations, galleries, businesses and the media in Longmont, Colorado. In 1997, the Scientific Cultural and Facilities District (SCFD) made it possible for ArtWalk to add music to its events through indoor and outdoor venues. When several of Longmont's art galleries closed, ArtWalk worked to keep the arts alive in downtown.
The “new” ArtWalk approached businesses and asked them to partner with ArtWalk by hosting art and music, and transforming their business and stores into art galleries for the three annual ArtWalk events.
In 2007 ArtWalk began closing Main Street between 3rd and 6th Avenues. ArtWalk transforms the downtown for three fabulous nights each year and offer the public a chance to experience more than 10 live musicians, live performances, see art being created by local artists, view the work of over 20 visual artists, engage in children's art activities, and experience Historic Downtown Longmont in a fun, festive atmosphere.
Mission Statement: ArtWalk Longmont promotes the arts in historical downtown Longmont.

or
1500 block of S. Pearl Street
On a picture perfect Sunday morning in September, 2001, Charlotte Elich and Carrie Vadas of 5 Green Boxes launched the first South Pearl Street Farmers Market. Wanting to create an event that would bring neighbors to the street regularly, the first market was a single day event with just ten vendors. The day was a rousing success, and today– thirteen seasons later–the market has grown to 27 weeks, with more than sixty vendors and thousands of shoppers and aficionados. Managed by our friends at HobNob Events for the past eight years, the market has seen many vendors. We would like to specially acknowledge Ela Family Farms, known far and wide for their mouth-watering peaches and apples from the Western Slope, and Styria Bakery, legendary for their fresh baked bread, both of whom have been with us since that very first day in 2001.
