Memorial Day Events

As the country pauses on Monday to take time to honor the soldiers whose lives were lost in defense of our country's freedom, we also have the opportunity to enjoy and celebrate the freedom that was gained in battle. From concerts to baseball, there are plenty of chances to enjoy some of America's favorite past times over the long weekend! Each of these events is just a half an hour drive away from your future apartment home at Outlook Golden Ridge!

Denver Day of Rock

The 7th annual Denver Day of Rock takes place on Saturday, May 23 at the 16th Street pedestrian mall in downtown Denver.
