Things to Know
• Arvada’s Festivals Commission hosts signature events like High Tea for Seniors, Movies Around Town, and more—keep an eye on their calendar to plan ahead.
• The Arvada Center continues its outdoor concert series—check their site if you’re into big names or want to catch shows under the stars.
