There's lots of things to do in Arvada, Colorado, like free 'Concerts in the Park'.  For family fun, pack up blankets or lawn chairs, snacks and drinks (no alcohol) and head to McIlvoy park (just south of 58th and west of Wadsworth).

McIlvoy Park in Arvada ColoradoEvery summer, Arvada's Festivals Commission sponsors a series of free concerts at McIlvoy Park in Old Towne.  This year's lineup:

June 18 - Golden Eagle Concert Band

June 25 - Mojomama (rock)McIlvoy Park in Arvada Colorado

July 16 - Papa Juke (blues)

July 30 - The Long Run (Colorado's tribute to the "Eagles")

In addition, there are special Children's Performances - 9:30 a.m. Friday mornings at Pioneer Pavilion, 9101 Ralston Road
July 10 - Eric West (music for kids)
July 24 - Beth Epley (comedy & stories)

My husband and I managed to make it out for Papa Juke, and had a really good time. Perfect weather (of course), lots of friendly people, and free and easy-to-find parking made it a relaxed, enjoyable evening.

I love the concerts in the park. It gives the kids a chance to dance and learn about different types of music. Not all are great, but to the kids they are!

You're right - the kids did get up and dance. And that old motorcycle guy comes to every Arvada event too. One of these times, my husband and I are going to have to walk over and meet him.
