If you're like me, you hardly ever leave your house because the outside world is loud, smelly, and scary. If you're not like me, then this is the list for you. I'm going to give you a breakdown of activities happening this week in Northern Colorado. Let me plan your social calendar, and I'll live vicariously through you. Everybody wins.

Monday 5/4

  • May the 4th be with you is huge in Northern Colorado. If you're a Star Wars fan, there's no better place to go than Totally 80's Pizza in Fort Collins, because of course it is. From pizza specials to movie memorabilia, this is something even I may leave the house for.

Tuesday 5/5

  • This year, Cinco de Mayo lands on Taco Tuesday. I call that kismet. This only happens once every 400 years (rough estimate), so you almost have to leave your house to celebrate.
  • Check out "Do The Crawl De Mayo" happening in Fort Collins. The event starts at 4:30 at the Trailhead and ends at 9 pm. Basically, you walk all over Old Town Fort Collins as different restaurants offer food and drink deals, prizes, and entertainment to celebrate the holiday. Is it a holiday? I actually don't know.
  • If you can stay up that late, good on you. Margaritas and a late night (9 is late for me) on a Tuesday would put me in the ground, but maybe you're fun.

Wednesday 5/6

  • Why not celebrate Cinco de Mayo on Seis de Mayo? Hear me out. On Wednesday, the 6th, there's a really cool event at The Neighbor in Fort Collins, and they're not only offering amazing margs but also salsa dancing.

Thursday 5/7

  • The Backyard Tap in Loveland is kicking off the summer season with its first food truck/live music night. Think beer garden with a local artist performing. This event is perfect for the entire family.

Friday 5/8

  • Every Friday, you can hit up Downtown Greeley for live music, great food, and activities for the entire family. If you have kids, they'll love the atmosphere and have plenty of room to run and dance while you enjoy a drink and live music.

That's your weekly Northern Colorado breakdown of fun events happening every single day of the week...day. Weekday. Because weekends are for resting.

Farmers Markets in Northern Colorado for Spring/Summer 2025

Colorado farmers markets are among the best in the nation. They bring their communities out to not only shop, but to just see one another after being cooped up all winter.
