Labor Day Weekend in Colorado – Event Guide
Top Picks for an Awesome Weekend – With Cannabis Pairing Suggestions
Before you hang up your flip flops and crop tops for the summer season, The Green Solution wants to wish you a very happy Labor Day weekend! We hope you can enjoy one last dip in the pool with friends, and create some killer memories. But you may be asking yourself, what is going on this weekend? Here are our top picks for Labor Day 2017.
Friday, September 1st, 2017 – Get Your Football On!
Rocky Mountain Showdown – Sports Authority Field at Mile High
The rivalry continues as the University of Colorado Buffalos are taking on the Colorado State University Rams at Sports Authority Field Mile High on Friday. We suggest you toke on some uplifting Jack Herer flower during your tailgating festivities to get the Labor Day weekend started off right.
There are still some tickets available on StubHub and through Ticketmaster. Make sure you catch this year’s game because there will be only two more Rocky Mountain Showdown games scheduled after this year.
Saturday, September 2nd, 2017 – Beer, Costumes, and Live Music
Tour De Fat – New Belgium Brewing Company, Fort Collins
7:40 AM – All American Rejects
10 AM – Bike Parade
Do you love beer, bikes, live music, and costumes? If so this event in Fort Collins is a must do for your Labor Day weekend festivities. The music line up includes live performances from X Ambassadors and All American Rejects. We suggest a Mint Filtered Icognito pre-roll to take with you to the festivities?
Saturday, September 2nd, 2017 – Art and Culture
First Free Saturday– Denver Art Museum
If costumes, parades, and beer on a Saturday morning aren’t really your style, check out the FREE Day at the Denver Art Museum. Immerse yourself in some amazing creative works with a some mind bending Rainbow Sherbet Lozenges prior to your arrival at the Art Museum to enhance your viewing experience. Delicious!
Saturday, September 2nd, 2017 – More Beer!
Brews and Views Beer Fest – Hudson Gardens, Littleton
This year the beautiful Hudson Gardens will feature 30 local breweries and a great lineup of local food trucks. Tickets start at $25 and if you’re a real beer person, you can snag a “connoisseur level” pass for $50. All designated drivers get in for $5. The perfect pairing for this event? Some delicious high CBD flower – Rubicon.
Sunday, September 3rd, 2017 – Beats
Cumbia Festival – Levitt Pavilion, Denver
Sunday Funday is never complete without some awesome dance moves! After brunch at any of Denver’s top eateries come check out the Cumbia Festival at the Levitt Pavilion in Denver to hear some amazing beats. Live performances by La Tropa Vallenata, Tropical Kaoba, and Los Chavos Dun Dun. We recommend sharing a Palm Blunt with friends prior to shaking your booty.
All Weekend Long – Food, Live Music, and Shopping
Taste of Colorado – Civic Center Park
Shopping, food, and even a designated kids area, the Taste of Colorado is never one to disappoint. Come down to Civic Center Park to eat and relax in the grass, while listening to a live performance by the Kongos. Plus live there is more live music on six different stages! We recommend you take your tastes to new levels with our Pure Pie Crust prior to your trip down to the park.
Any Day This Weekend – Take Your Last Dip in the Pools!
Both Water World and the water park at Elitch Gardens are shutting down after this weekend, along with many local watering spots (the swimming kind) so relax by the pool one last time this weekend before bathing suit season ends.
Remember – don’t drive high and consume responsibly. You must be 21+ to enjoy cannabis. From our TGS family to yours, we wish you a very happy Labor Day weekend. Tired after all the festivities? Take a soak with our Rejuve Bath Fizzy.
