The Railroad Museum will give a “highlights” tour today from 1-2PM. If you’re unfamiliar with the museum’s outstanding collection of really big artifacts this is a great way to get an overview.
Downtown Golden will be hopping tonight, with music along the Avenue, carriage rides, and special events in the stores.
The new Tributary Food Hall opens to the public today. Maybe you should try them for dinner– curry, fresh seafood, healthy smoothies, pizza, sandwiches, and many other options. They’re at 701 12th St. (map).
Earth Sweet Botanicals is hosting their Healthy Skin Club tonight from 5-7PM, with a focus on Hands, Shoulders, Feet & Toes.

Tonight’s street music is provided by Derek Hall and Austen Williamson. They’ll be playing downtown from 5-8PM. The carriage rides will be available from 6-8PM. Both music and carriages are being sponsored tonight by the Downtown Development Authority (DDA).
ALSO Downtown tonight: this is the first of four evenings of Movies and Music in the Park. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs to Parfet Park (10th and Washington). Tonight’s music comes from Half Pint and the Growlers, beginning at 7PM. The movie will start at dusk. They’ll be showing How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.
There’s a 7:30 performance of the wickedly funny play, Fairfield at Miners Alley Playhouse.
Alternatively, you can head to the Railroad Museum for Colorado Rails and Cocktails. Kris Autobee will tell us about The Railroad that Never Was. Jefferson County dairy farmers were struggling to get their product to market. Farmers living near the tracks were doing better than those who trucked their product into Denver by wagon. The answer – a new railroad of course! Join Kris Autobee as she explores the ins and outs of attracting a railroad of your own in the late 19th century. Relax, have a beverage, and travel back to a time when railroads shaped the American West. Since alcohol is served, the minimum age for this event is 21. Learn more….
