Some participants ride custom-built circus bikes, some tow trailers fitted up with speakers, many don outrageous costumes and most all of them wear huge smiles. The Cruiser Ride is simple racous fun, as well as an ideal opportunity to get a bit of fresh air and exercise while seeing the town and meeting all the freaky locals.

There's no particular point to this event other than to have the excuse to dress up like a deadman and cause a ruckus. It's oddly wholesome fun for all ages, and if you do feel obliged to imbue your death with some purpose, you're invited to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Food Bank of the Rockies. Otherwise, joining in is free!

This is a fun way to experince the city night life and get two things accomplished at once! Once you've had time to get a manicure and a couple of delicious drinks, you can experience a bit of the local music scene when the DJs come on. It's also a great place to feel like you are having a mid-century throwback, hair dryers and all.

The park's 2015 season runs from May 2nd through November 1st. Nothing will bring you back to best moments of childhood faster than the heartstopping adrenaline rush of a 50 mph roller coaster in the heat of summer.

Recently AEG took over operations and brought along new flooring, a state of the art soundsystem and a wraparound balcony. The renovations successfully transformed the historic charity case into one of Denver's premier venues for national acts, mainly of the rock variety. With about 150 annual concerts, the Ogden has finally found its niche.

An open-air aviary, an eight-acre recreation of Samburu National Reserve in Kenya, a tropical discovery zone, a climate-controlled Komodo dragon exhibit, and a 5-acre facility housing more than 25 endangered primate species (including silverback gorrilas!) make this zoo an engaging attraction.

A night at the Hi-dive will shoot you straight to the heart of Denver's hipster music scene, and who knows, maybe you'll witness the beginning of the next big thing. Shows are always cheap (often under $20) and drinks are a similar bargain.

Looming slabs of blood-red sandstone that perfectly reverberate sound waves make this setting so iconic many bands choose to release dvds of their concerts here. Nearly every Coloradan has at least one story of an epic evening spent among the monoliths overlooking the city lights in the company of great artists.

Though the dunes aren't located in Denver by any stretch of the imagination, they are an easy drive from the capitol for a weekend sidetrip. Most visitors come to Colorado for the mountains, and you should absolutely see those too, but shamefully few see this truly stunning natural wonder.

Local acts feature regularly here in addition to national up-and-comers. The space is small and intimate, so if you're lucky, you may get up close and personal with Denver's next superstars. As an added bonus the beer selection is good and reasonably priced, plus tickets are always cheap!

In 2010 new owners took over, renamed the venue Cervantes, and made some technical improvements. The music hosted has shifted from jazz towards dubstep, electronica, hip-hop acts, DJs, bluegrass and jam bands. Cervantes consists of two venues, the larger 'masterpiece ballroom' and the smaller 'otherside' just next door.

Smaller than a stadium or concert hall, the stage can be seen clearly from anywhere inside and the reasonably priced bar is easy to access. Still, the sound quality is respectable. On top of all that, both important names in alternative music and local heroes book gigs here, with ticket prices often less than half of what you may pay elsewhere.
