Join the Parks Department and consultants on Monday, July 11 in the Golden Community Center from 6 to 7 p.m. for a meeting to update the community on the progress of the Open Space Master Plan.
Since access to the outdoors is part of daily life in the City of Golden, the City is seeking feedback from people who live near natural areas or open spaces, people who enjoy and seek more access to the outdoors, conservationists, and more. We encourage everyone with an investment in Golden’s natural areas and open space to attend this public meeting in order to share their opinions and receive an opportunity to complete a survey after the meeting that will inform decisions related to the Open Spaces Master Plan.
The primary purpose of the Parks and Recreation Open Space Master Plan is to create a clear and concise mission, vision, definition, and system of classification for open spaces within the City of Golden. Learn more about the Open Space Master Plan on Guiding Golden. New

A Golden icon for three decades, Golden Fine Arts Festival is a juried art show located in the heart of historic downtown Golden, Colorado.
With its prime location just 20 minutes west of Metro Denver and free admission to the public, this premier event traditionally draws large crowds over 2 days to enjoy art, live entertainment, beer and wine gardens and food vendors.
The event, rich in community tradition and a well-established reputation, is limited to 100 artist booth spaces. Artists are selected through a competitive jury process selected by art professionals. Traditionally, over half of participating Artists travel to Golden from outside of the state of Colorado. Colorado is also home to many talented Artists who participate at the event each year. Cash prizes are awarded to 1st and 2nd place winners in nine categories, as well as Best of Show and Best of Colorado honors.
Produced by the Golden Chamber of Commerce, Golden Fine Arts Festival is a favorite of those who value an attentive and welcoming ‘home hospitality’ of Golden, Colorado for artists and patrons alike.
