No shortage of ways to celebrate July 4th in Denver
Indy Eve is the City of Denver's holiday celebration. It's a great way to kick off the Fourth of July weekend with live music, shopping, and a drone show, but Indy Eve is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things to do for the holiday. "There are 260 different juried artists at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. I feel like if you've lived in Denver for any period of time, you have a piece from that festival in your home," said Taylor Shields, Director of PR & Communications with VISIT Denver. (credit: CBS) The Cherry Creek Arts Festival is a long time July 4th tradition. Set up over several blocks in Cherry Creek North, the Festival attracts artists from across the country. Fan Expo Denver is going on all weekend at the Colorado Convention Center. It's the ultimate fan experience with celebrities, cosplay, comics, anime, gaming and so much more. "So another tradition, Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms always play Fourth of July up at Red Rocks. That's just an amazing place. They're always a fun band," Shields said. In addition to Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms, Vulfpeck is playing Red Rocks on July 5th. Red, White & ROCK! is going on at Hudson Gardens & Event Center, which features a 13-piece yacht rock band. "What's more American than baseball and fireworks? The Rockies are having their fireworks show on the fourth and the fifth. The Rapids actually have a really fun 4th Fest with kids events, bouncy houses, soccer, darts, and fireworks this weekend," Shields explained. McGregor Square is hosting a double feature of Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. All of Denver's museums will be showing their latest exhibitions. "There's also like really fun red, white and blue bar crawls that are going on Downtown," Shields added.

File Photo by Edwin Locke/UPI | License Photo May 29 (UPI) -- Blues Traveler and the Gin Blossoms teamed up to perform a medley of their hit songs "Run Around" and "Hey Jealousy" on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday. The performance took place just over a month before their upcoming tour with the Spin Doctors, which kicks off July 4 in Colorado and winds down in Georgia on Sept. 13. The medley began with Blues Traveler frontman John Popper playing the harmonica to "Run Around." Gin Blossoms lead vocalist Robin Wilson then joins in with "Hey Jealousy." "Tell me do you think it'd be all right? I could just crash here tonight. You see, I'm in no shape for driving," Wilson sings. "Anyway, I've got no place to go. And you know, it might not be that bad. You're the best I've ever had." "I did not see that coming," one fan commented of the collaboration. "Wow! To be blissfully transported back to the 90s in the middle of my day. What a treat... flawless."
