3. There’s a different kind of fest honoring Ullr this weekend in Golden

4. A quirky annual tradition is taking place this weekend in Manitou Springs
It’s no secret most of us are not fond of fruitcake and would rather toss it than be subjected to another bite during the holidays. The idea wasn’t lost on the people of Manitou Springs, who in 1995 started tossing them around in downtown. The tradition continues this week for the 30th year. Tickets are $1 and the event takes place at Memorial Park. More info. here.
5. The 2025 Winter Walkabout Music Showcase is happening in Longmont
Grab your ticket and head downtown for a day and night of what Longmont does best - live local music, unique venues, good vibes, and community spirit. Over 60 performances at more than 16 venues across downtown Longmont will play from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. this Saturday. You don’t want to miss out on the day of fun and live music!
