Event Details
Live music throughout the evening guides the event’s shift from golden-hour gathering to after-dark celebration.
Early evening performances start at 6 p.m. and feature Agent Jazz, a Denver quartet blending jazz standards, blues rock, spy-film soundtracks, New Orleans rhythms, and dark pop into a cinematic live set filled with energy, style, and unexpected turns.
As night falls, starting at 8 p.m., Something Vinyl Club provides the soundtrack for the evening’s transition into night mode, bringing a high-energy DJ set that shifts the atmosphere into a vibrant after-dark celebration.
Throughout the evening, circus and cirque-style performers move through the event with illuminated and movement-based performances.
ArtPark bars will be hopping alongside Taconation and other local food vendors throughout the event.
