Pride Month doesn’t sneak in quietly around here. Colorado shows up… thoughtfully, festively, and sometimes with glitter cannons. From parades and drag brunches to panel discussions and dance floors that don’t shut down until the lights flicker twice, Pride in the Centennial State is as multifaceted as the people who make it what it is.

Whether you’re all about the parade route, want to support queer-owned businesses, or just want to spend a Saturday immersed in joy and community, we’ve rounded up some of the smartest, most celebratory events happening around Colorado this June.

It’s 2025. Katy Perry’s playing outer space, Coachella costs more than your car, and your group chat still can’t agree on a playlist. But Colorado? Colorado gets it right. This summer, the state is leaning into what it does best: killer mountain views, chill crowds, and live music that won’t bankrupt your Venmo.

Whether you're in Denver, Boulder, or somewhere with more elk than Wi-Fi, there's a concert series that’s free or almost free and well worth showing up for. No wristbands. No phone face-scan fumbles. Just music (and maybe a beer garden).

Once the domain of retirees and church rec centers, pickleball has elbowed its way into the Mile High mainstream like a paddle-swinging disruptor in court shoes. Pickleball is having a renaissance, and Denver isn’t sticking to the sidelines. 

That’s right. Europe's High Renaissance brought enlightenment. America’s brought carbon fiber paddles and orthopedic insoles. And, you thought the Vitruvian Man was about proportions? Nah, it was about the ready position

Cherry Creek North Restaurants for Date Night: Where to Eat When the Vibes Matter

Dinner dates come with a certain amount of pressure. Too casual, and it feels like a glorified lunch. Too stuffy, and suddenly, you’re making nervous small talk over a $200 tasting menu. The sweet spot? A [...]

Colorado isn’t just about mountain views and craft beer. The state’s walls, alleys, and underpasses double as an ever-changing outdoor gallery. From sprawling, proud murals to hidden, intimate works, street art in Colorado is bold, creative, and unapologetically local. If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy backdrops, thought-provoking visuals, or just an excuse to wander the city with coffee in hand, here’s a Colorado street art map to get you started.

For over two decades, Denver Restaurant Week has turned the city into a playground for food lovers, offering a delicious excuse to finally book that table you've been eyeing. What began as a modest lineup of local gems has evolved into a full-fledged culinary extravaganza, featuring Michelin-starred chefs, James Beard nominees, and enough pre-fixed menus to make even the most decisive diner hesitate.

At Corcoran Perry & Co., we don’t just sell homes. We plant roots, build connections, and give back to the city that gives us so much. That’s why, since 2014, our Live & Give program has been a cornerstone of how we do business. It’s simple: our most passionate agents nominate the local nonprofits that inspire them, we (the Corcoran Perry & Co. team and our agents) cast our votes, and then we roll up our sleeves… and open our wallets… to make an impact.

The dimming of The Mile High City’s festive lights and packing of the evergreen boughs signal the end of the winter holiday season. (But we all know the holiday cookies and mint mochas will grace your plate - and cup - for at least another month.)
