DAY OF THE DEAD—Mexican American singer Luz Elena Mendoza (of Y La Bamba) leads a traditional Día de los Muertos celebration that begins with a black-clad procession through the streets and ends with a party featuring Orquestra Pacifico Tropical, Aztec dancing, and sets from local Latino musicians, including the inimitable Edna Vazquez and Mendoza with Los Mariachi Perla de Portland.

MUSIC—Let’s get Sunday rowdy! It’s Denver’s last show for a while and the country rabble-rousers wanna get whiskey drunk with you. So go kick up your urban cowboy boots, dance the weekend into oblivion, and wave those boys a fond farewell until their next show in town. They’ll be honky-tonkin’ all night long! COURTNEY FERGUSON
