🍌 A prepper workshop, burger battle, and Banana Ball is back!

Hey, friend!

I’ve got a special newsletter for you today. By now, you’ve probably heard of City Cast Denver Neighbors — our membership program that supports my team’s work on this newsletter, as well as our daily podcast and social accounts. It also comes with a lot of great perks! One of them is a weekly email rounding up our top local event picks, and I figured a summer Friday was a great day to give you a sneak peek.

Every week, Neighbors receive the event listings below and use them to kickstart their week’s plans. These events aren’t scraped by bots; my colleagues and I thoughtfully curate them, so there’s something for everyone — from live music shows to art openings to golf-themed singles events (see Sunday August 9). Scan through and I bet you’ll see a bunch of things that pique your interest. If you want to get this email every week, become a Neighbor today.

The weekly email also always includes a personal recommendation or greeting from me or one of my colleagues. For example, today, I’d be inclined to tell you about the new episode of “Your City Could Be Better,” City Cast’s national podcast. Our CEO David Plotz sat down with the hosts of City Cast DC and City Cast Seattle to talk through some quirky city-life conundrums that the rest of the City Cast teams submitted. I have to say, I was really surprised by how much commonality there was between cities. We’re really all just out here wondering if it’s ok to throw dog poop in strangers’ trash bins. Who knew?

Anyway, it’s a really fun episode, and you should check it out — on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. OK, on to the events now 👇

Hey! Did you enjoy this special events preview? You could get a round-up like this every Monday with our personally curated selection of awesome events going on around town. All you’ve got to do is sign up as a City Cast Denver Neighbor today!

It costs $10 per month and you get tons of great perks, but you also get the satisfaction of knowing you're helping keep Denver connected.
