Bring a blanket or lawn chair, settle in under the mountain sky, and enjoy a memorable night of live entertainment.
This Canada Day lineup is all about celebrating local talent.
Taking the stage are a lineup of homegrown performers, including Maya Balon, a third-generation Golden local who will be sharing a mix of new country and alt-folk songs; Jake Pawley, a 16-year-old born and raised in Golden who began his musical journey through karaoke before picking up the guitar and writing his own music; and Finni Jobin, a singer and guitarist whose style is heavily influenced by the world of musical theatre.
Rounding out the lineup are the Jumping Rodents, a fresh and energetic six-piece funk band born in a workshop in the woods of Parson, known for their original music and lively performances.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, Canada Day offers a chance to come together, support local organizations and businesses, and enjoy everything that makes Golden special.
So grab your crew, head outside, and make the most of the day!
