Your Guide to May in Denver
If you're new here, welcome! We’ve put together a starter pack for you, with episodes and articles to welcome you to the City Cast Denver community.
It’s May in the Mile High City — the days are getting longer, meaning more time in the sunshine. From getting outside for a weekday lunch date to making a quick drive to the foothills for drinks by the South Platte River, we’ve rounded up our best recs, tips, and must-sees for this almost-summer month.
For even more tips on how to make the most of May in Denver, check out our newsletter Hey Denver’s take on what to do this month.
Peyton mentioned Denver Water’s Backstreet Boys parody about Denver’s summer water rules and Hey Denver’s list of Denver’s best sports bars. Bree talked about our recent episode with gardening expert Ann Marie Award, who shared tips on low-water plant options.
