Denver Upcoming, Fun Weekend Events

You made it. The new decade is officially here. Make this weekend your chance to start it off strong. Did you make a resolution to exercise more? Not the most original choice, but you could kick it off with a goat yoga session (yes, that’s still a thing). Aiming to spend more time with friends? How about an improv show? Maybe your goal is to get more free stuff (we get it, the holidays hit your wallet hard). Head to the Denver Art Museum, ‘cause admission this Saturday will cost you zip, zero, nada. It’s a whole new year and you’ve got 52 weekends to make this the best one yet.
