Moms, Mimosas & Goat Yoga? Arvada’s Mother’s Day Weekend Is Booked
Arvada’s Mother’s Day Weekend Is Looking Very Arvada
Happy Friday, Arvada 💕
Somewhere in town this weekend, a person is going to do goat yoga in the morning, drink bottomless mimosas in the afternoon, and leave with handmade jewelry by sunset. Honestly? That’s a pretty strong Saturday.
In today’s What’s Happenin’:
• Wine glass painting + pastries at LUKI
• Goat yoga and bunny yoga are both somehow real
• Brunches, makers markets, and cocktails for a cause
Let’s get to it.
What’s Happenin’ is growing — want to join us?
Last month our local newsletters across Boulder, Arvada, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Denver were opened 275,000+ 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.

Moms, Mimosas & Goat Yoga? Arvada’s Mother’s Day Weekend Is Booked
Mother’s Day weekend in Arvada is shaping up to be less “generic flowers and crowded restaurants” and more “let’s make this weirdly fun.”
There’s a little bit of everything happening around town this weekend, whether your mom loves brunch, crafting, shopping local, yoga, animals, cocktails… or all five at once.
🎨 Paints, Pastries & Pours at LUKI Brewery
LUKI Brewing is basically turning Mother’s Day into a full-on self-care afternoon Saturday from 2–4 PM.
The main event is a guided wine glass painting class with Painting With a Twist where you’ll decorate your own set of glasses to take home. It’s $40 and includes a drink, which honestly feels fair considering most of us haven’t touched a paintbrush since middle school art class.
But the real power move? Adding the $15 pastry + bottomless mimosa option.
We’re talking:
🥐 Pastries from Knead the Bakery
🍊 Bottomless seltzer-based mimosas
🍷 Mom’s Mimosa Flights all weekend long
Even if you skip the painting, you can still show up for pastries and pours while supplies last.
🐐 Yes, Goat Yoga Is Back
Arvada Goat Yoga is hosting:
🐐 Mother’s Day Goat Yoga at Freedom Street Social (Saturday)
🐰 Bunny Yoga at Colorado Tap House (Sunday)
And honestly, this feels very on-brand for Colorado in 2026.
If your ideal relaxation involves tiny animals climbing near your yoga mat while you attempt balance poses, congratulations, this is your weekend.
🛍️ Shop Local at the Spring Maker’s Market
Talnua Distillery’s Spring Maker’s Market on Saturday is another easy Mother’s Day win.
Expect:
Handmade goods
Jewelry
Home décor
Cocktails
Pizza from Nano’s Pi
It’s 21+ and probably the best place to find a last-minute gift that doesn’t scream “I bought this at a gas station yesterday.”
🥂 Mother’s Day Brunch in Olde Town
Olde Town Social is kicking off brunch season Sunday morning with:
New brunch cocktails
Chef Sam Jordan’s brunch menu
Free “Mom-mosas” for moms
Honestly, any restaurant giving out free brunch drinks on Mother’s Day understands the assignment.
🐶 Cocktails for Paws
Saturday night, Colorado Tap House is hosting Cocktails for Paws benefiting Rocky Mountain French Bulldog Rescue.
Drinks, auctions, swag, and a good cause? Pretty solid combo.
One of the better things about weekends like this is how local they feel. Most of these events aren’t giant productions. They’re breweries, local businesses, yoga instructors, bakers, and makers all teaming up to give people an excuse to get out together for a few hours. That’s kind of Arvada’s sweet spot.
