Looking for a fun, outdoor event to partake in downtown this spring? Look no further than The Big Wonderful, a simple and fantastic weekly festival that’s chock-full of activities at 26th and Lawrence (2500 Lawrence St.) in a Curtis Park.

Every Saturday from noon to 7:30 p.m., countless hay bales are laid out across a 3-acre space to offer Denverites a country-esque escape. But it’s about more than just hanging out on hay bales—numerous food trucks park themselves on site alongside various other food vendors, small businesses sell a plethora of Coloradan products, a craft beer garden sets up with various lawn games and live music from local talent tops it all off.

Sounds pretty awesome, right? It is. And what’s the most awesome of all is that admission is free. Just bring a good attitude, a pair of worn out jeans and a big appetite.

The Big Wonderful is a well-rounded event that helps both the common city-goer as well as aspiring business owners. The event is best summed up by the site’s self-description: “An outdoor sustainable market that blends food, flea and entertainment… This is built for the whole family, but cool enough for everyone. With a smorgasbord of vendors, this event is a catalyst for small business and a unique shopping experience for all.”
The Big Wonderful is ready to come back swinging on May 2 after a long hiatus over the winter, and you’re going to want to be there. Checkout the details at thebigwonderful.com.
