Denver Arts Events October 6-October 12, 2025

This week’s list is a little bit spooky, a little bit otherworldly, and a little bit world-class. No matter what medium you prefer to consume, there is a captivating event for you. If I could enjoy five performances, concerts, or exhibitions this week, this is what I’d do. Enjoy.
