Denver, CO
A pickle-and-beer festival, a massive drone show and more things to do around Denver
A really big dill
Saturday. If pickles are your bread and butter, then you’ll be right at home at WestFax Brewing Co.’s Pickle Fest. The Lakewood brewery will debut its own signature pickle beer alongside a Pickled Bloody Mary seltzer bar, pickle beer flights, and a pickle beer chugging contest. Also attending the party are local companies The Real Dill, The People’s Pickles, Mountain Girl Pickles and Tru Pickles. As if that weren’t enough brine to soak in, Mischief Pizza food truck will also serve a special pickle pizza for one day only.
Pickle Fest comes to WestFax Brewing Co., 6733 W. Colfax Ave., Lakewood, on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 2 to 6 p.m. Free to attend. More information at westfaxbrewingcompany.com/events. — Tiney Ricciardi
Drone on!
Friday-Saturday. Drone shows aren’t known for their length, given the limited battery life on most machines. However, promoters for an event called the DroneArt Show are advertising its Friday, Oct. 17, and Saturday, Oct. 18, performances in Dacono as “the longest drone show ever staged.” The spectacle, created with coordinated LED lights from 500 separate drones, recreates images from “The Four Seasons” and “Swan Lake,” accompanied by live string music, to “transform the night sky into a 3D canvas,” producers wrote.
Tickets to the all-ages shows, which take place at 7:30 each night, are $34.90 for the “picnic area” and $42.90 for the grandstand, with a VIP option for $99.90. 4281 Co Road 10 in Dacono. Visit thedroneartshow.com/denver for more information. — John Wenzel
Try these on for size
The opening of a retail store wouldn’t typically make for a destination-worthy event, but Gnara’s new pop-up store on Pearl Street in Boulder offers a unique opportunity to try on its equally unique apparel. The Gunnison-based outfitter is known for its hiking pants, shorts and leggings that are designed with a patented zipper up the backside so women can relieve themselves in the wilderness without disrobing.
While its products have been available in select stores, this is the first time Gnara’s whole collection will be on display for shoppers to try on, including its soon-to-be-released ski bibs. To sweeten the deal, the store is hosting special events throughout October, such as yoga, bingo and candle-making classes. The store remains open until January and will likely have additional events.
Gnara’s retail location is at 939 Pearl St. in Boulder. It’s open Wednesday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. To see the event lineup, visit gnara.com. — Tiney Ricciardi
Tennyson comes alive
Saturday. This year’s 10th annual Tennyson Fall Fest has all the block-party goodness you’ve come to expect from the Highland event: free admission; 100 local businesses, including breweries, artisans, and food purveyors on hand; and activities ranging from live music and group yoga to a pet parade and inflatables for the kids.
The all-ages event runs 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Tennyson Street from West 41st to West 43rd avenues. Leashed and well-behaved dogs are welcome. Visit tennysonfallfest.com for more information. — John Wenzel

DENVER (KDVR) — The last few days of May will be warm and mostly dry, but the Denver weather forecast does show a steady warming trend through the first week of June.
Highs on Saturday will be seasonal and mostly dry with a stray storm possible. Colorado will return to the low 80s on Sunday and will likely be dry across most of the state.
Denver weather tonight: Partly cloudy and mild
Skies will be partly cloudy overnight Friday. Any lingering showers will dissipate by midnight. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal with lows around Denver in the lower to middle 50s. Winds will be light from the south and southwest.
Denver weather Saturday: Seasonal and mostly sunny
Denver will see seasonally warm highs Saturday afternoon in the upper 70s, though the urban core may crack the lower 80s. An isolated storm or two may fire up in the afternoon north of Interstate 76 and the high country, but most of Colorado will remain dry.
Looking ahead: Warming to start June
Monday is the first day of June. Temperatures will be in the low 80s with a better chance for afternoon showers and storms. Winds will also be a bit breezy. The metro area will continue to warm Tuesday and Wednesday into the mid-80s. Both days have a chance for storms, but Tuesday will have a better setup for storms.
Denver will be drier the second half of the workweek as temperatures climb into the mid-80s. Next weekend may see highs back in the upper 80s. That’s not record-breaking, but quite warm for early June by about 10 degrees.
Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.

Denver Summit FC delays opening of Centennial Stadium, will play next 2 home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Denver Summit FC will play their next two home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado’s first professional women’s soccer team was hoping to be at their new training facility in Centennial by July, but team says recent rain delayed construction, so they need to push back by two weeks.
That means their July 3 and July 12 matches will be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.
Summit FC is hopeful to be at their stadium in Centennial for their July 18 game against the Portland Thorns.
Centennial Stadium will ultimately become Summit’s training facility. They’ll play their games there until 2028, when they hope to move into their official home stadium at the Santa Fe Yards at Broadway and I-25. The Santa Fe Yards stadium will have room for more than 14,000 fans.
