An outdoor amphitheater just 5 minutes from my house in Ruby Hill park! This venue hosts up to 50 free concerts per year in the summer and has seen some pretty big names recently including Melissa Etheridge, DeVotchKa and John Legend. Bring food for a picnic or sample some of the local food trucks inside the venue. (Be sure to read the park rules before packing your bags.) Ruby Hill park is also home to a mountain bike course and Denver’s best sledding hill in the winter!
