Last month our local newsletters across Boulder, Arvada, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Denver were opened 177,000+ times by locals looking for things to do and places to go.

As we continue to grow, I’m looking to add one or two people to help with partnerships with local businesses.

If you love supporting local businesses and want to help grow these newsletters, just reply to this email and tell me a little about yourself.

Some shows entertain you. This one sticks with you.

Come From Away at the Arvada Center tells the true story of what happened when 38 planes were suddenly grounded in Gander, Newfoundland on September 11, 2001. Thousands of strangers landed in a tiny town that had no warning and no real plan, just people willing to help. What followed was a few days of uncertainty, kindness, culture clashes, and unexpected connection.

The show keeps things simple on stage, but it moves fast and hits hard. One moment you are laughing at the small-town quirks, the next you are sitting with the weight of what brought everyone there. The cast plays multiple roles, the band is right on stage, and the music leans into Irish and folk sounds that carry the story forward without feeling overdone.

What makes this one worth your time is how real it feels. It is not about politics or headlines. It is about people showing up for each other when things get messy. You walk out thinking about how strangers can become a community almost overnight, and honestly, that feels pretty relevant right now.

If you are looking for something more than just a night out, this is it. It is the kind of show you end up talking about after, replaying certain moments, maybe even texting someone about it on the way home.

Arvada dates are all about small-town charm with local flavor. Olde Town Arvada is a go-to for strolling, cozy dinners, and dessert stops, while the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities adds a culture-forward twist with shows, exhibits, and open-air vibes. If you’re leaning outdoorsy, sunset views and picnic potential at Majestic View Park never miss.
