About Wheat Ridge, CO
Wheat Ridge is a brewery town's sleeper pick — nine taprooms from Brewery Rickoli and Mestizo to Blind Dog and New Image keep a steady schedule of taproom music, trivia and food-truck rotations.
The community calendar is built around gatherings like Coffee with the Mayor at Mountain Milk, the Annual Business Awards at the Recreation Center and the Longer Table community meal at The Green at 38th. It is an authentic, locally-run slate of events.
Below is Wheat Ridge's live event calendar, each listing verified with a source link and updated as new events are confirmed. For a broader, evergreen guide to the city — the breweries, The Green and how to spend a day — see the Wheat Ridge things-to-do guide.
Taproom culture pairs with local coffee shops and small-gathering venues around The Green, giving the city an easygoing weekend rhythm — and every newly confirmed event lands on the verified list below as soon as it is announced.

Frequently asked questions about Wheat Ridge
- What community events run in Wheat Ridge?
- Verified listings include Coffee with the Mayor at Mountain Milk (7190 W 38th Ave), the Annual Business Awards at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center (4005 Kipling St) and the Longer Table community meal at The Green at 38th (7101 W 38th Ave). Coffee with the Mayor and the Longer Table meal are both listed as free.
- Does Wheat Ridge have good brewery options?
- Yes — the roster lists nine Wheat Ridge taprooms, from Brewery Rickoli and Mestizo to Blind Dog and New Image's Wheat Ridge taproom. Each has its own page on this site with the brewery's current events and food-truck dates.
- What is The Green at 38th?
- The Green at 38th at 7101 W 38th Ave is the venue in Wheat Ridge's verified listings that hosts the Longer Table community meal — a free meal built around one long table, run with City of Wheat Ridge and community partners.
- Why is there no weekly activities section on this page?
- Because nothing standing-weekly in Wheat Ridge could be verified. The city's own calendar was unreachable at our last check, the taprooms in our roster publish no recurring events, and the city's listed events are dated one-offs. Rather than pad the page with an unverified schedule, we leave that section off until a source confirms one.
- Is this page the same as the Wheat Ridge things-to-do guide?
- No — they are deliberately different. This page is Wheat Ridge's live event calendar, updated as listings are confirmed and dropped once they pass. The things-to-do guide is the evergreen visitor guide to the city, for planning any day of the year.
