About Golden, Colorado

Golden's calendar is anchored by the Golden Farmers Market at 10th & Illinois — the Chamber's 24th-season market, running every Saturday from May 30 to October 3, 8 AM to 1 PM, with fresh produce, artisan food and crafts.

Around it, downtown Golden keeps a steady rhythm of concerts and community gatherings, and the city's ten breweries — New Terrain, Golden City, Mountain Toad and more — host live music and rotating food trucks through the season. The foothills setting and historic downtown give Golden a distinct character among the nine towns.

The listings below are Golden's live event calendar, so they change as events are confirmed and pass; everything is verified with a source link. For a fuller, evergreen guide to the town — what to see and do on any given day — check the Golden things-to-do guide.

Because Golden sits right at the edge of the foothills, market Saturdays and taproom evenings come together into an easy full day out west of Denver, and every newly confirmed event lands on the verified list below as soon as it is announced.
