Labor Day Weekend falls on the first Friday of September, so that means art and jazz galore! You already know that art walks like the First Friday Art Walk at Dairy Block and the First Friday Art Walk in Santa Fe Arts District will be popping. If you want some more art, the Museo de las Americas will be free to attend that Friday as well.
Summer coming to an end sadly means the end of our favorite seasonal markets. Luckily, there will be plenty of markets to attend over the weekend so you can make sure to get one last trip in. If you’re looking to stock up on fresh produce, you can find farmers markets in Boulder, Cherry Creek, Highlands Square, and University Hills, to name a few. Check out our full list of markets here.
