Denver Arts Events November 24-30, 2025

You might be tapping out to hang with your family this week, but that doesn’t mean you can’t squeeze in a great show (or two). In fact, I can’t think of a better way to get a few hours of peace amidst the holiday chaos. If I could enjoy five performances, concerts, or exhibitions this week, this is what I’d do. Enjoy. 

✺ November 24 Take the whole family to enjoy big band jazz by Arapahoe College Jazz Bands with the Colorado Jazz Ambassadors at Dazzle. 6:30 p.m. Get tickets.

✺ November 26 Explore underground Latin electronic music at Mutación at Lost Lake. 8 p.m. More info and tickets.

✺ November 28 Check out “What the Dickens!?,” an improvised play based on Dickens’s work that is more fun than your average Christmas show. 8 p.m. What If Theatre. Get tickets.

✺ November 29 View tiny art (no larger than 6 x6 x 6) for a good cause—a portion of proceeds will be donated to The Second Wind Fund at the Tiny Art, Big Ideas opening at Spectra Art Space. 3-10 p.m. More info.

✺ November 29 Hide from your family in the luscious notes of Ben Markley's Front Range Drive at Nocturne. 6 or 9 p.m. More info and tickets
