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.

Mother’s Day doesn’t need to be complicated — but it should feel intentional. Sure, flowers are still mandatory (we don’t make the rules), but Longmont’s packed with ways to turn this weekend into something more memorable than a last-minute card from the gas station.

Here’s your guide to pulling it off:

🌸 Historic Hoverhome’s Annual Mother’s Day Tea: 250 Years of American Motherhood
📍 Hoverhome | ⏰ Saturday, 11:30 AM | 🎟️ $70
→ Fancy tea? Yes. Tiny sandwiches? Absolutely. This elegant afternoon includes a three-course tea service, desserts, a self-guided tour of Historic Hoverhome, and a fascinating look at generations of motherhood throughout American history. Honestly, this feels like the kind of event your mom will talk about for weeks.

🛍️ Longmont Farmers Market
📍 Boulder County Fairgrounds | ⏰ Saturday, 8 AM–1 PM | 🎟️ Free
→ If your ideal Mother’s Day involves sunshine, fresh pastries, flowers, local honey, handmade gifts, and live music, this is the move. Grab a bouquet while you’re there — because yes, flowers still matter — and spend the morning wandering together instead of stress-ordering online.

🍻 Mother’s Day at Left Hand Brewing
📍 Left Hand Brewing | ⏰ Sunday, 11 AM–8 PM | 🎟️ Free entry
→ Moms get BOGO beers all day, which honestly feels like a fair reward for years of emotional labor and keeping everyone alive. The garden patio is perfect if your family’s version of bonding involves sunshine and casual drinks instead of formal brunch pressure.

🐱 Mother’s Day at the Cafe! – Pots & Purrs
📍 Elevated Communities Cat Cafe | ⏰ Sunday, 10 AM–5 PM | 🎟️ $12 admission + $10 craft fee
→ Paint a ceramic pot, plant flowers, hang out with cats, and accidentally spend two hours saying “look at this little guy.” It’s wholesome chaos in the best possible way and genuinely one of the most unique Mother’s Day activities happening around town.

🌻 Rocky Mountain Ranch Sunday Funday Pop-Up Market
📍 Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch | ⏰ Sunday, 9 AM–6 PM | 🎟️ Free
→ This one checks every box: local makers, flower stands, food trucks, family activities, and enough spring energy to make you forget your inbox exists. Bring Mom, bring the kids, bring your appetite.

🥂 Celebrate Mom at Tangerine with Brunch & Bubbles
📍 Tangerine | ⏰ Sunday brunch hours | 🎟️ Complimentary drink for moms with entrée
→ Downtown brunch crowds are basically an Olympic sport on Mother’s Day, so arrive early. Moms get a complimentary mimosa, bellini, or latte, and Tangerine’s brunch lineup remains one of Longmont’s strongest arguments for carb-based happiness.

🍽️ Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet @ The Passenger
📍 The Passenger | ⏰ Sunday, 10 AM–2 PM | 🎟️ $85 adults
→ If your family goes all-out for brunch, this is the big one. Expect carving stations, desserts, brunch classics, Nimbus coffee, mimosas, and enough food to justify skipping dinner entirely.

💐 Pro tip: The sweet spot this weekend is pairing flowers with an experience. Bouquet + brunch. Flowers + farmers market. Tea + a walk downtown. Turns out moms usually remember the time together more than the ribbon on the gift bag.
