đ Pollinator Palooza @ Jackâs Solar Garden
Saturday, August 23 | 9:30 AM â 12:30 PM | Free
Head out to Jackâs Solar Garden for a bug-tastic morning at Pollinator Palooza! Kids (and kids at heart) can dive into hands-on âbugtivities,â explore displays of pollinators from bees to beetles, and get crafty with pollinator-themed art. Itâs all about celebrating the tiny heroes that keep our world blooming, with games, activities, and educational fun. Bonus: the event is free, but registering ahead helps make sure there are enough supplies for everyone.
đ¶ Music at McIntosh Lake
Saturday, August 23 | 7:00 PM â 9:00 PM | Free
Cap off your Saturday with an evening concert at McIntosh Lakeâs Flanders Park. Bring your picnic blanket, lawn chair, and loved ones for a series of classical-inspired performances hosted by Melodic Light. As the notes drift across the lake and the Colorado sun sets behind Longs Peak, youâll get one of those unforgettable âthis is why we live hereâ moments.
Whether youâre chasing bugs in the morning or chasing sunsets at night, Longmontâs got your Saturday covered.

đ Thatâs a Wrap, Longmont!
From buzzing pollinators under solar panels to music drifting across McIntosh Lake at sunset, this weekendâs events are serving up wholesome vibes all around. Pack some snacks, bring the family, and soak in the beauty (and community) that makes Longmont shine.
đ Trivia Answer: B) An irrigation reservoir for farming.
Fun Fact: McIntosh Lake was built back in 1903 as part of Longmontâs irrigation ditch system. Today, it still serves that purpose but has become a community hub for paddleboarding, fishing, and sunset watching.
