Sponsored by the Golden Civic Foundation, Golden Summer Jam is fun evening for the whole family featuring performances from several all-ages bands with ties to Golden, including the Skeleton Dolls, Thunder & Rain, and Weatherbee and the Gnarbillys. Food and drink will be available for purchase.
This new summertime event was created with the idea of connecting Golden families and residents, and promoting community involvement while celebrating Golden’s small town, friendly atmosphere.
Tickets to the Golden Summer Jam are $15 for adults and free for children under 18 (admission for up to two children is free per family).

Each adult ticket comes with a free Colorado Native Pilsner beer thanks to AC Golden’s generous sponsorship.
Golden’s Community Sustainability Advisory Board (CSAB) is taking steps to bring a community solar garden to Golden. The first step in the process is for citizens to vote whether to add renewable energy as an allowable land use at the Rooney Road Sports Complex. While no specific solar garden project is under consideration at this time, if voters approve the use of renewable energy at the site, next steps will be to amend the current lease with Jefferson County and look for a favorable project. Learn more about the Community Solar Ballot Initiative.
Join CSAB members for a “Let’s Talk Solar” open house and volunteer recruitment meeting on July 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Golden Community Center. Stop by to learn more about all things solar and the Community Solar Ballot initiative and ways to get involved. Refreshments will be provided. Those interested in volunteering are encouraged to fill out the online volunteer recruitment form 
or email goldensustainability@cityofgolden.net.
Do you have . . .
- Questions about what “affordable housing” means or why it’s important to our community?
- Thoughts you’d like to share about your experience with renting or buying in Golden?
- Ideas for how the City might assist its workforce, young families, seniors and other residents to remain in the community?
Then please join us for a community open house on Tuesday, July 25 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Golden Community Center, to discuss and provide input on housing policy and program options currently under consideration. And enjoy some pizza!
This will be an opportunity to review community trends related to housing attainability, refine and prioritize housing related policies for future inclusion in Golden’s Comprehensive Plan and consider some program options to help meet the housing needs of low, moderate and middle income Golden households.
