About Lakewood, Colorado
Lakewood's live calendar centers on Belmar, the mixed-use district hosting a string of free community events — the Belmar Fitness Expo, the dog-friendly BARKtember Fest, the Romanian Festival and the family-friendly BOOMar Halloween celebration.
The city's eight breweries, including 6 & 40, LandLocked and Old 121, keep taproom music and food-truck rotations going through the season. With most of Belmar's signature events free, Lakewood is an easy pick for a no-cost day out west of Denver.
The listings below are Lakewood's live event calendar, every entry verified with a source link and updated as events are confirmed. For a fuller, evergreen guide to the city — shopping, dining and day trips — visit the Lakewood things-to-do guide.
Sitting between Denver and the foothills, Lakewood doubles as an easy base, and the Belmar district pulls the market, shopping and dining together into a full day out — new verified events are added to the list below as they are confirmed.
