Enjoy free appetizers, local beverages and live music. It’s an event not to be missed!

On Halloween, Oct. 31 from 3 to 5:00 p.m., downtown Washington Ave. will be closed to cars and filled instead with tiny zombies, super-heroes and other masked little ones, all ready to fill their trick-or-treat bags in a safe atmosphere with candy provided by local Golden merchants.

Bring your little ones for some sugar-saturated, non-spooky fun!

Spend a magical day in Golden meeting and mingling with family favorite holiday characters–classic and new–in Downtown Golden along Washington Avenue, which will be closed for the festive event.

Bring your camera for plenty of photo opportunities, including a “Selfie with an Elfie” station, live music, Newfoundland dog cart rides, and lots of festive holiday fun for the whole family!

Join your neighbors and Golden planning staff for an open house on Monday, March 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. to discuss Jackson Street Corridor design plan alternatives, including the future streetscape, landscaping, and public improvements.

Bring the little ones for the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 30 in Parfet Park.

Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Golden, the “hunt” starts at 10 a.m. as children dart about to find the colorful treasures! It doesn’t take more than a few minutes for all the eggs to be gathered up, so don’t be late!

Children up to age 10 are welcome.

The City of Golden and Weedbuster volunteers invite you to DeLong Park (395 23rd Street) to Celebrate Earth Day, learn about the pesticide free park and the native plants that live there.

The Clear Creek Trail through Downtown Golden has become increasingly popular in recent years and is considered a recreational destination for the Denver Metro area. The regional Peaks to Plains (P2P) Trail connecting Idaho Springs to Denver will be a major part of this popularity once complete.

The City is engaging with the Golden community to determine the best route for a ‘secondary route’ of the P2P Trail through Downtown Golden. A secondary route would help alleviate trail congestion and create a better trail experience for all users.

This analysis will outline project-specific and community goals, and leverage existing or anticipated funding to determine the construction feasibility of a secondary route. Learn more on Guiding Golden.
