Shakespeare in the Parking Lot???
We’ve all heard of Shakespeare. Many of us have even attended Shakespeare in the Park events. But Shakespeare in the Parking Lot?

The Riverfront Park Community Foundation in partnership with Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) are once again bringing this unique event to Riverfront Plaza (1610 Little Raven St) on the afternoon of Saturday, September 11.

Using a pickup truck as their stage, a handful of talented performers will deliver abridged renditions of Shakespeare’s Macbeth from 1 to 2 pm and A Midsummer Night’s Dream from 3 to 4 pm with the Millennium Bridge as a backdrop.

Shakespeare in the Parking Lot is an educational outreach program presented by DCPA that connects the community with live theater. Be sure to check it out!
Annual HarvestSHARE Event
Brings Denver's Eastside Communities Together
The 9th Annual East5ide HarvestSHARE is a one-of-a-kind community experience that “teaches people to fish” by bringing neighbors together to share food and knowledge. Community members share excess harvest from their gardens and teach organic gardening, demonstrate how to prepare produce, and connect people with resources to raise their own garden beds.
 
Participants can take a “Social Easin’” walk in Denver’s Eastside through 6 parks and 1 farm on Saturday, September 18 from 1 to 10 pm. The parks and farm feature fun, family-friendly activities and are connected by walkable street closures.
 
Six Parks
1. George Morrison Park (MLK & High to Lafayette): My Outdoor Colorado (MOC) Outdoor Wellness Experience
2. Dr. Daniel Hale-Williams Park (30th & Lafayette): Social Easin’ Street
3. Fredrick Douglass Park (30th & Franklin): Griot Storytellin’ with Opalanga Pugh

OSE Ordinance Approved
On Monday, August 23 Denver's City Council approved the Office of Special Events' (OSE) proposal to be added to the Denver's Revised Municipal Code. Mayor Michael Hancock signed the bill last week; bringing the legislative process to a close. Therefore, OSE is no longer positioned under the Mayor's Office, but rather a stand-alone agency with the ablity to issue an Office of Special Events Permit (OSEP).
