CALENDAR

tasting part at Friday night’s five-course dinner

of dishes, featuring high-quality mushrooms,

prepared by Durango Mountain Club’s executive

chef Joseph Albright. On Saturday, you can

put your culinary skills to the test with a mush-

room cooking and wine-pairing class taught

by Ore House’s Cliff Bornheim. Finally, get

out of the grocery store with an expert-led

mushroom foray, during which you’ll sip Prosecco

and hunt for chanterelles and morels at the

base of the glorious San Juan Mountains.

for ways to combine Vail’s rich dining scene

with its outdoor excellence, this al fresco

festival marries the two. The highlight of the

weekend is the open-air tasting, where about

20 chefs from restaurants like Sweet Basil will

provide nibbles paired with vino from 50-plus

wineries. Guests will also be treated to an

indulgent lunch prepared by a surprise local

chef—after they embark on a high-alpine hike,

ensuring they generate robust appetites. Fri-

KIDS & FAMILY

AUG. 9–11 Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival This

annual celebration began 50 years ago, when

Wheat Ridge was the “Carnation Capitol of

the World.” Now that few carnation growers re-

main, the three-day affair has extended beyond

the botanical. It still includes the original parade

with flowery floats but has added new festivities

like shows from 177-year-old traveling circus

Zoppé. To sate hunger, drop by the pie-baking

contest, which, while not flora-themed, will have

you leaving the perennial party satisfied none-

theless. Fri-Sun, times vary. Anderson Park, 4355

Field St., Wheat Ridge, 303-205-7591. Free. Visit

thecarnationfestival.com.

AUG. 15 Family Retro Gaming Night Though your

kids might be unaware, addictive gaming existed

long before Fortnite. Introduce them to vintage

games at this throwback event, during which visi-

tors can play over 20 retro video games (Pong,

anyone?) on classic consoles like Nintendo 64.

When you tire of the oldies, opt for a modern

console, like the XBox, and marvel at how far

technology has come. Thu 6-8 p.m. Old Town

Fort Collins Library, 201 Peterson St., Fort Collins,

970-221-6740, poudreriver.evanced.info. Free.

AUG. 17 Magic Fest You don’t have to travel to

Vegas to peep the foremost masters of sleight of

hand. More than 30 of Colorado’s best tricksters

will perform mystifying feats at this magic sum-

mit, including Denver psychic Erica Sodos. After

the show, pick up a wand and magic kit from

local outfitters like the Chosen Wand to take

home and start learning the tricks of the trade.

Sat noon-9 p.m. Northglenn Recreation Center,

11801 Community Center Dr., 303-450-8800.

Ticket prices vary. Visit themagicfest.com.

MUSIC

AUG. 12 Judy Collins Growing up in Denver, this

siren began her career as a teen piano prodigy,

but after hearing her first folk song on the radio,

she decided to change her tune. It was a good

move: Eight years after learning to play guitar

and releasing her debut album, A Maid of Con-

stant Sorrow, her single “Both Sides Now” won a

Grammy Award for Best Folk Performance. Now

80 years old, the renowned singer-songwriter’s

melodious voice continues to shine onstage and

in the studio—her 2016 album, Silver Skies Blue,

was even nominated for a Grammy Award. Mon

6:30 p.m. Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York

St., 877-987-6487, concerts.botanicgardens.org.

$64-$69. Visit judycollins.com.

AUG. 20 Molotov This Mexico City quartet does

more than entertain with its high-energy rock

and irreverent lyrics: It encourages political

revolution. The Latin Grammy Award–winners

gained international attention for their blend of

rap, punk, and ska, and for their direct attacks on

oppressive governments. See: 1997’s “Gimme

Tha Power,” which riffed on police extortion in

Mexico. Despite a career spanning two decades,

their messages still ring true; their last album ex-

plores the distressed relationship between their

home country and the United States. Tue 7 p.m.

Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave., 303-832-

1874, ogdentheatre.com. $35-$45.
