Have fun your way this summer

Coming Attractions

I’m a pretty rm believer that summer doesn’t actually begin until June 21 (I guess I’m a big equinox guy or something) and I think this year’s weather really bears me out, seeing as we didn’t really start having proper summer weather until June 19.

So, now that we’re actually into the most fun season of the year, it’s time for my quarterly round-up of great events to honor it properly.

Go to the World’s Fair with Molly Brown American history bu s know that the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair is one of the key cultural events of our history. It was a chance to showcase innovations like electricity, highlight the work of artists of all kinds and give visitors the chance to explore the rich history and exciting future of the world at large. e list of those visitors include Denver’s own Molly Brown and her family.

In celebration of the fair’s 130th anniversary, the Molly Brown House Museum, 1340 Pennsylvania St. in Denver, is hosting “ e World is Changing” exhibit through Sunday, Aug. 27. Visitors will be able to peruse unique original artifacts from the event, learn more about what fair attendees saw and how it changed the world.

In addition to the exhibit, there will be special events throughout its run, like an examination of the food that was served at the fair and see how people of color and women were represented there.

All the event information can be found at https://mollybrown.org/visit-us/exhibits/.

You’re going to need a bigger amphitheater for ‘Jaws’

You can make a solid case that Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” is a perfect lm. Even if you discard the mountains of money it made, the way it totally rejiggered lmmaking and the lm industry, and how it announced one of the art form’s most important gures, everything about it just works — the score, the suspense, the characters, the shark (well, that might be the one caveat).

“Jaws” is going to be screened during the summer for as long as we have summers, but what a treat to see the lm at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 6:30 p.m. on ursday, July 6, as part of its Film on the Rocks lineup. Some lms just work better with big crowds and “Jaws” de nitely ts the bill.

Celebrate 43 years at the KYGO Birthday Bash

Country music and rap don’t have a whole lot in common, but one thing they do share is that both sound best in the summer. With that in mind, why not attend KYGO’s annual Birthday Bash, which features a collection of some of the genre’s best artists — Brothers Osborne, Niko Moon, Kameron Marlowe, Hailey Whitters, Randall King and Double Wide. e concert will be held from 4 to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 1 at Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre, 6350

Greenwood Plaza Blvd in Greenwood Village. Many of the musicians are up-andcomers (Whitters is a particular favorite of mine), which makes for an exciting pairing with Brothers Osborne, who are blending country and rock in really fun ways.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Dead & Company at Folsom Field

What a long, strange trip indeed. I’m not sure what anybody expected when it was announced the Grateful Dead would be relaunching with many of the original members and pop/blues guitarist John Mayer. But since Dead & Company began touring in 2016, they’ve shown an admirable dedication to the original band’s ethos and have introduced new generations to the music in a live setting.

But all good things must come to an end and the group announced their 2023 tour would be their last, which means their performances at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 1, Sunday, July 2 and Monday, July 3 at Folsom Field, 2400 Colorado Ave. in Boulder, will be your last opportunity to catch the group in-person.

Head over to www.ticketmaster.com for tickets to what will certainly be a historic run.

Who doesn’t love a good meal to go with a beautiful summer evening? But what kind of cuisine to go with?
