Stop and Shop
Friday-Sunday: More than a hundred hand-selected artisans will turn out for the Jackalope Indie Artisan Fair this weekend in Olde Town Arvada. Things kick off Friday with a preview-only event from 5 to 10 p.m.; there will also be food trucks, music and a kids Halloween parade.
The main event takes place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 14-15 when you can shop to your heart’s delight. Attendees will find “trendsetting indie goods,” organizers said, including original fashion and jewelry design, paper goods, innovative home decor and housewares, art and photography. The food trucks and live music will return, along with live art and a tie-dye station. The fair runs along Olde Wadsworth and Grandview avenues and is free to attend. jackalopeartfair.com
Pumpkin head
Friday: It’s that spookiest of nights. A Friday the 13th during October. And if you’re not a fan of pumpkin beers, then the horror is palpable. But if you love them, then 2 Penguins Tap & Grill is ready to share some powerfully wicked treats with you during its Pumpkin Flight Night.
And these aren’t just any pumpkin beers. They’re a collection of high-ABV and award-winning specialties. The tap list includes: Copper Kettle Brewing Spooky Hollow Rum BA Imperial Pumpkin Porter; Launch Pad Brewery Bourbon BA Pumpkin Paddy; 4 Noses Brewing Pump Action; Great Divide Brewing Pumpkin Spice Yeti; Upslope Brewing Pumpkin Ale; and Southern Tier Brewing Pumking Imperial Pumpkin and Warlock Imperial Pumpkin Stout. Wear a costume to get into the spirit. 2 Penguins is located at 13065 E. Briarwood Ave., Centennial.
Fall into autumn
Saturday-Sunday: The sights, sounds and smells of the season are on full display at Four Mile Historic Park, which brings back its annual Pumpkin Harvest Festival. Activities include picking the perfect pumpkin from the pumpkin patch; shopping at a marketplace with more than 40 vendors; and watching performances from local dance troupes, bands, and cultural organizations.
There are also cider doughnuts; a scavenger hunt where guests can pan for gold, pack a wagon and play prairie games; fall-themed crafts and activities; live demonstrations with a blacksmith; tractor rides; face-painting; and more. The Festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Tickets are $17 for children and $22 for adults. Get more information at fourmilepark.org.
Saturday: The Boulder Symphony has undertaken a fascinating project. Using the original musical score from the 1923 silent film “The Covered Wagon,” musicians, led by John Clay Allen, have reinterpreted it “from a tribal perspective,” in order to reverse “negative Native American stereotypes perpetuated by popular media spanning three centuries.”
Paid for with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Arapaho Redux, will be performed publicly for the first time by the symphony during a 7:30 p.m. screening of the film at Pine Street Church, 1237 Pine St., in Boulder. The Paramount-produced Western tells the story of a group of pioneers traveling from Kansas City to Oregon, and the troubles they face, including a conflict with Native Americans. The cast featured 500 mostly Northern Arapaho tribal members of the Wind River Reservation. Tickets, $25, are available at bouldersymphony.org.
