Denver Weekend Guide

Denver’s weekend guide is really a map of four big draws: a National Women’s Soccer League match, a women-focused film festival, a city museum free day, and a weeklong food promotion starting Sunday. (denversummitfc.com) (denverfilm.org) (denverartmuseum.org) (milehighafw.com) The highest-profile live event Saturday is Denver Summit FC against San Diego Wave FC at 6:45 p.m. at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. Denver Summit FC listed the club at 1-1-3 entering the match, with San Diego at 4-1-0. (denversummitfc.com) That game is also Denver Summit FC’s first match at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park after the expansion club opened its 2026 season elsewhere. 9News said the team had already broken the National Women’s Soccer League attendance record last month at Empower Field at Mile High. (9news.com) On the arts side, Denver Film’s Women+Film Festival runs April 24-26 at the Sie FilmCenter on East Colfax Avenue. The festival program centers on features, shorts and documentaries by women filmmakers and stories about women, with passes and special events tied to the three-day run. (denverfilm.org) Sunday shifts the focus to family traffic at the Denver Art Museum, which is holding its 24th annual Día del Niño celebration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is free for everyone that day under the museum’s Free Days program. (denverartmuseum.org 1) (denverartmuseum.org 2) The food piece starts the same day. Mile High Asian Food Week runs April 26 through May 3 and says it is featuring 73 Asian and Pacific Islander-owned restaurants, food trucks, pop-ups and beverage makers from Aurora to Colorado Springs. (milehighafw.com) (denver7.com) A preview night market was scheduled for Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Clayton Quad on York Street, giving the event a Denver kickoff before the restaurant-week format expands across the Front Range. (denver7.com) (milehighafw.com) Other family and civic events fill in the edges. Westword listed Four Mile Historic Park’s free day on Friday, the 42nd annual Denver Public Schools Shakespeare Festival with more than 5,000 students, and City Floral’s 115th anniversary party on Saturday. (westword.com) (rmprolocal.com) Taken together, the weekend is less about one blockbuster festival than a split-screen city calendar: pro soccer on Saturday night, film through Sunday, museum crowds on Sunday morning, and a food week that carries into May.
