Happy Friday, Longmont!

If your ideal weekend includes fresh air, a little sunshine, and something that makes you smile instantly—you’re going to want to keep reading. This one feels like stepping into a slower, simpler kind of fun. And yes… it involves animals.

What’s Happenin’ is growing — want to join us?

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.

Play trivia, crosswords, and word searches built just for locals. These games aren’t just fun...they’ll test how well you actually know your city. Great for killing time, learning something new, or proving you’re the true local legend.

Craving: Le Peep

Classic breakfast done right. Le Peep is a go-to for hearty morning plates, friendly service, and prices that don’t hurt. From chicken fried steak & eggs to lemon ricotta pancakes and breakfast enchiladas, it’s the kind of spot that keeps things simple—and consistently good.
