Questions people actually ask
- What's there to do in Lakewood right now?
- 40 West Gallery Member Showcase (First Friday Opening), Cider Pressing, BOOMar at Belmar, Quarteto Nuevo at Lakewood Cultural Center, and 15 more. Full list on this page.
- Is this list current?
- Yes. Neighstradamus rebuilds from a live Denver events feed daily, and past events drop off automatically.
- Are these events free?
- Some are. Free events are labeled FREE; use the budget dial on the homepage to filter to free only.
- What neighborhoods does Neighstradamus cover?
- Neighstradamus splits greater Denver five ways, spelling the only word he says: The North Pasture (N), The Eastern Flank (E), The Third Eye (I), The Golden Gallop (G), and The Haunches (H). Every neighborhood from RiNo to Castle Rock lands in one of them, so the horse always has somewhere to point.
- How do I get one good recommendation instead of a list?
- Go to the homepage, point at your part of town on the map, tell him who is asking (weirdo, family, hot date), set the date and budget, and pull the lever. Or let the horse decide everything.
