Another good weekend coming up.  This will be a First Friday, so the downtown merchants will be offering lots of free live music and refreshments.  In addition to the usual First Friday stuff, the Chamber will be hosting the annual Block Party, which is held in the parking lot between 12th & 13th on Arapahoe.  Free hot dogs provided by MillerCoors, music, free horse-drawn carriage rides, local business booths, free Chipmunk Express train rides, plus all the First Friday events at merchants up and down Washington Avenue and its side streets.

Saturday is the 4th of July, and as you would expect, Golden does a thorough job of celebrating it.  The Lions Club hosts an event in (where else?) Lions Park.  There are festivities all day, with live entertainment, food vendors, and FREE rides for young children.  After dark--the fireworks!

This is also the weekend for the Golden Super Cruise, so we'll have lots of classic cars to ogle on Saturday.
