Hey Denver ! 🧩🎉

Hi, Ben here, founder of What’s Happenin’ Denver.  I’ve always loved when Denver comes together for something truly local, and Night at the Museums is one of those nights. On Saturday, November 8, more than a dozen of our city’s best museums will open their doors for free from 5–10 p.m. It’s the perfect excuse to wander, explore, and see Denver’s art, history, and science in a whole new light — literally.

A Mile High Museum Night Out

A Mile High Museum Night Out

Denver’s museums are throwing one big citywide party this Saturday — and you’re invited. Night at the Museums is back on November 8, and it’s one of my favorite Denver traditions. From 5 to 10 p.m., more than a dozen of the city’s top museums will throw open their doors for free — complete with live music, storytelling, hands-on exhibits, and after-hours energy you won’t get any other night of the year.

Grab a friend, hop on one of the complimentary shuttles, and make a night of it. Whether you’re into art, science, history, or just good vibes — there’s something for everyone.
