What are you doing this summer? With so many options in Colorado's (very) great outdoors, you could use a guide to help you chart your plans.

Fortunately, on June 5, our annual Summer Guide will hit the streets. This special magazine inserted inside the regular issue of Westword will highlight all the coolest events during Colorado's hottest season.

In addition to stories on some of this state's must-visit spots and must-do events, Summer Guide 2025 will include comprehensive listings of events along the Front Range, everything from concerts to art markets to food festivals. And music events, lots of music events, with everything from single concerts to week-lohng festivals.

We're collecting and compiling event listings right now. The deadline for inclusion is 9 a.m. Friday, May 23; send information (nothing fancy: just the basic who, what, when, where and how much) to [email protected].

See you this summer!
