Special Events are Back

As events are being added to the summer and fall calendar, it is a hopeful sign that life is returning to normal in Golden. Public health is still top of mind and all events will comply with any regulations or capacity restrictions that are in place at the time. We are excited for a summer with the safe community events we all love.

Get your costumes ready because the Golden Bicycle Cruise is back! Make sure your calendars are marked for the last Tuesday of the month, June through September, in the new location at Celebration Plaza, next to Calvary Church at 13th & Arapahoe Streets.

And yes, there will be fireworks! The Fourth of July tradition returns, with a Festival in Lions Park, put on by the Golden Lions Club, culminating in a fireworks display put on by the City of Golden. To keep in line with public health and safety guidelines, the festival will make some changes, including not having any children’s rides or face painting, as well as being of shorter duration. The raffle will still take place, so keep an eye out for the yellow-vested Lions Club members selling tickets for a great selection of local prizes. The raffle funds help support all the work the Lions Club does over the year in our community.

The Foothills Art Center will host their Fine Arts Festival, July 10 and 11, in downtown Golden, featuring artists from Colorado and beyond, followed up by the Chamber of Commerce’s Golden Fine Arts Festival, August 21 and 22. Both festivals are renowned for the quality of artisans and artists working in a variety of media and styles.

The City of Golden is excited to bring back Movies and Music in the Park. The beloved community event brings neighbors and friends together on family friendly summer evenings in August. Watch our calendar and social media sites for movie announcements.

We are all looking forward to a lively summer event season in Golden; be sure to stay tuned in for more details on the events in the Golden Informer and on the City’s Community Calendar and website at www.cityofgolden.net.
