There's a lot of variety in the calendar this week, likely because the moon phases are shifting from "my kid goes to school" to "oh *no* my kid is not in school" which is something like Mercury Retrograde, from what I hear. So Jeffco is alive with activities, which considering the rain is probably a relief for parents. If you don't have kids, lots for you too! Tons of live music - literally everywhere. Let's get into it. --- ## πŸ—“οΈ Featured Events *A few highlighted events this week.* ### πŸŽ‰ **Arvada SummerFest 2025** Arvada SummerFest returns to the Lutz/Stenger Sports Complex for a full day of fun. This free event runs from 11am to 7pm and features live music, local food trucks, a beer garden, kids zone, and tons of family-friendly activities.
