It’s no secret staying at home is necessary right now, so many theater performances, concerts and other events have been canceled. Our calendar (and free events lists) here at Mile High on the Cheap are sort of like ghost towns. We’ve put up “cancelled” signs on many events, but even the ones that aren’t marked as cancelled most likely have been cancelled. That live events calendar will be ready to go when we get past this.
For now, our focus has to change. So we have created a new calendar, one just for virtual events. You’ll find live streamed concerts, music lessons, history talks, opera performances and more. We’ll be adding to this list all the time, so if you know of anything that should be on the list, please email info@milehighonthecheap.com. You may also want to bookmark this page and keep checking back.
What other kind of content would be useful to you right now? Let us know and we’ll work to make it happen.
While we want to highlight local events, one silver lining is that now you can experience live events from all over the globe. An opera in New York. A local concert. This is an opportunity to find your new favorite artist.
