Broadway Art Market at The Goldfinch
📅 Jul 11, 2026, 10:00 AM
📍 The Goldfinch, 1842 S. Broadway, Denver, CO
The Goldfinch, a cocktail bar and coffee house on South Broadway, opens its outdoor footprint to local artists every second Saturday from May through September. The Broadway Art Market runs 10am to 4pm, bringing together vendors from the SoBo creative community alongside the venue's full brunch and coffee menu. That evening, Mile High Soul Club takes over at 9pm, spinning vinyl soul, funk, and dancefloor heaters through the night. The two halves of the day share a building block: rooted local culture, from handmade work to hand-selected records.
May Be Fern at Red Rocks: Film on the Rocks 2026
📅 Aug 3, 2026, 7:00 PM
📍 Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO
May Be Fern, Denver's neon funk-rock band and Westword Best Funk-Rock Album winners, takes the Red Rocks Amphitheatre stage as part of Denver Film's Film on the Rocks lineup. The band plays before a screening of Bridesmaids at one of Colorado's most storied outdoor venues. For a band rooted in the Front Range club circuit, Bar 404 Broadway residency and all, this is a genuine milestone: Red Rocks is the room every Colorado band points to, and May Be Fern is playing it.
May Be Fern at Cervantes' Other Side with Fruta Brutal and Tart
📅 Sep 11, 2026, 7:00 PM
📍 Cervantes' Other Side, Denver, CO
May Be Fern, Denver's self-described neon funk rock band and winners of Westword's Best Funk Rock Album of 2025, headline an evening at Cervantes' Other Side alongside Fruta Brutal and Tart. The flyer teases the night as an 'extra special show' with more details still to come, signaling something beyond a standard club bill. Cervantes' Other Side is a smaller stage within the Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom complex, a venue with deep roots in Denver's independent live music scene. The show is all-ages from 16 up, with advance tickets available through the venue website or directly from the band.
