It has been a minute since Daybreaker got Denver dancing, but they’re back and ready to BOO-gie! Kick of your Halloween and give your costume a test drive at sunrise with a wicked-good dance party at NATIV Hotel downtown. Get there at 6am for a yoga flow and then bust a move on the dance floor while you sip kombucha and nosh on breakfast bites. You’ll also snag a CBD dropper bottle on your way out the door.

🙌 Marczyk Is Opening In Happy Canyon
They’ve made their mark on the Mile High for being a specialty grocer that gives a real damn about their food. And now, they’re spreading the love. Marczyk Fine Foods will begin selling its carefully-sourced collection of groceries in the Happy Canyon Shopping Center at the end of 2020. Expect a very similar offering to its OG store, with local meats, cheeses, and produce, plus prepared foods and a deli. Oh, and wine.

🏔All Hike, No Holdup
After a brutally hot summer, fall is the reprieve everyone was waiting for. And in Denver, with adventure on our doorstep, there’s just no time to spend sitting in a doctor’s office for something minor you can probably put off. But you shouldn’t. Especially not considering you can talk to the doc on your own time... possibly between checking 14ers off your list. Kaiser Permanente offers “Chat With A Doctor”, allowing a confidential appointment for that nagging foot injury or migraine just by signing onto kp.org or popping open your KP app.

Farm Stand and Food Truck Fridays
SAME Café and Denver Botanic Gardens are linking up to bring fresh organic produce from Chatfield Farms and healthy food truck eats to the Denver Human Services Office in Sun Valley. Grab a nourishing meal and pay what you can. There are suggested donation amounts, but you are welcome to pay only what you can swing (or tack on a little more to cover someone who can’t).

Climb4Life

Oktoberfest 5k with Prost Brewing
‘Tis the season for Oktoberfest, and who better to celebrate with than the Colorado Brewery Running Series?! Join them for a 5k-ish course that starts and ends at Prost Brewing in The Highlands. Take it at whatever pace feels good, then enjoy a craft brew in a take-home collectors pint glass, plus goodies and giveaways from their partners and sponsors!

It happens at Stapleton’s Central Park and promises the best brunch bites and libations that Colorado has to offer. We’re talking The Real Dill, Allegro Coffee, and Molly’s Spirits, just to name a few.

Party Like It’s 1991
Celebrate breakfast burrito day with Santiago’s! They’re going all out and throwing it back to 1991, when they first opened their doors. All Saturday long you can score a Santiago’s burrito at its 1991 price — $1.25! Yes, there’s a limit (five), and no, you can’t get choosy — no substitutions or add-ons will be available at the throwback price that day. There’ll also be fun giveaways and prizes throughout the day, and 3% of sales will benefit Precious Child.
Oh My Gourd
It's everything-pumpkin season. And what better to pair with your pumpkin than a pint? Of beer, we mean. Lucky for us, Denver is all about fall fun, and there are plenty of chances to get creative while you sip suds with your gourd. Head to Denver Beer Co. to paint a pumpkin or to Grandma’s House for some Day of the Dead-themed craftiness. And if you miss out this weekend, plan to paint with your pumpkin and a pint on October 28 at Breck Brewing in Littleton.
