Golden Hour MashUp

Golden Hour MashUp Event Logo

Three Wednesday evenings. Three unique themes. One great reason for our community to get out and enjoy everything we love about Golden.

This is a locals night, made for neighbors to get out and reconnect with the community. Bring the kids for a kid-friendly evening, sneak away for a date night downtown, or just wander around town and see what’s happening. Businesses across Golden are staying open late with one-night-only experiences, including live music, pop-ups, family activities, special menus, shopping, hands-on fun, locals-only exclusive deals, and unexpected collaborations. Every stop is a new adventure, and every evening is a chance to celebrate what makes our community special.

Golden Hour MashUp is brought to you by the City of Golden’s Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Visit Golden.
