Cultural Events in Denver

Santa Fe Arts District, Free entry
For it being the middle of winter, we’re pretty lucky we’ve got great weather for the Art District on Santa Fe’s First Friday Art Walk. You’ll barely need to bundle up to hit the galleries that are open and ready to give you the jolt of culture and beauty you need to kick off March.

Mission Ballroom, $56 and up
March 3 is Colorado day (3/03; get it?), and what better way to celebrate than with the band 3Oh!3? Catch the electronic-pop band with Matt and Kim and other artists at Mission Ballroom’s 303 Day extravaganza Sunday night.
March 3, 8 pm
Ball Arena, $92 and up
Bow to the queen at Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour, where Denver is just her second stop. While we wouldn’t bet on Drake stopping by for his collab, you can probably count on some outrageous outfits, killer hip hop, and Megan Thee Stallion disses.
Outdoor Events in and near Denver

Winter Park, $175
Head to the mountains for a good cause this weekend, as Mary Jane Mountain in Winter Park hosts its 25th annual Jane-A-Thon to support Invest in Kids. Grab friends and family to form a team, hit the slopes to ski and snowboard, and don’t forget to stop by the apres-ski party.

Wash Park, Tickets: $80
If you like diving into cold water in the middle of winter, well, you’re pretty masochistic aren’t you? Join your fellow masochists at the Polar Plunge and 5K benefiting Special Olympics Colorado athletes. No shoes or diving suits are allowed in the pool, but you’ll definitely want a towel and a jacket.
