Your Guide to May 2026 in Denver
It’s May! Here in Denver, that means flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and the Rockies are losing – but they have not yet been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention yet. But what about all the good stuff going on outside Coors Field? Keep It Local newsletter writer Michelle Polizzi joins producers Paul Karolyi and Olivia Jewell Love to share our recommendations for how to make the most of May in Denver this year – from the spot serving up a new lemon-y iced matcha to a fast-food spot embracing nostalgia in a whole new way.
