Colfax Avenue is about to get loud. On Saturday, November 15th, from 7 PM to 1 AM, the Colfax Carousal Punk Fest takes over Denver’s most iconic street for a night of pure, unapologetic punk rock and community energy. Eighteen bands, including local favorites like Tuff Bluff, Jon Snodgrass, and The Tammy Shine, will hit the stages at Tight End, The Squire, and Lion’s Lair, with Illegal Pete’s as command central for day-of tickets and merch. This isn’t a corporate festival, it’s a grassroots, not-for-profit movement built by the musicians themselves to support the venues and businesses hit hard by BRT construction along Colfax. It’s music with meaning. Loud, local, and all for love of Colfax. So grab your friends, lace up your boots, and get ready to mosh for a cause. Join us Saturday, November 15th, for the Colfax Carousal Punk Fest — where every chord, every beer, and every shout goes right back into keeping Colfax alive. Tickets are $15 to $30 and going fast. Grab yours now at hi.events, keyword Colfax Carousal, and be part of the street that never sleeps.

You know that feeling after a glass of champagne—bubbly, bold, and just a little giddy? That’s the spirit of The Importance of Being Earnest at Theatreworks Colorado Springs.
Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy sparkles with clever twists, sharp humor, and a touch of chaos as love and mistaken identity collide. Director Kathryn Walsh brings it roaring to life in an inventive in-the-round staging at the Ent Center for the Arts—where the audience is part of the fun.
Playful, quick-witted, and impossible to resist, The Importance of Being Earnest runs November 28 through December 21. Tickets and details at entarts.org/beingearnest.
