There’s lots of things to do in Arvada, Colorado, like free ‘Concerts in the Park‘. For family fun, pack up blankets or lawn chairs, snacks and drinks (no alcohol) and head to McIlvoy park (just south of 58th and west of Wadsworth).
Every summer, Arvada’s Festivals Commission sponsors a series of free concerts at McIlvoy Park in Old Towne. This year’s lineup:
June 18 – Golden Eagle Concert Band
June 25 – Mojomama (rock)
July 16 – Papa Juke (blues)
July 30 – The Long Run (Colorado’s tribute to the “Eagles”)
In addition, there are special Children’s Performances – 9:30 a.m. Friday mornings at Pioneer Pavilion, 9101 Ralston Road
July 10 – Eric West (music for kids)
July 24 – Beth Epley (comedy & stories)
My husband and I managed to make it out for Papa Juke, and had a really good time. Perfect weather (of course), lots of friendly people, and free and easy-to-find parking made it a relaxed, enjoyable evening.
There’s one free concert in the park left for 2009. Maybe I’ll see you there!
Arvada resides about midway between Denver and Boulder, Colorado, in Jefferson County.
I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those *communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly *suburbs northwest of Denver.
