If you feel like every day you lose more of your grip on reality and things you could otherwise control, I feel you. Approaching what will be the weirdest summer any of us have had in a longtime, maybe ever, will do that to you!
To put a little more order in your life and, as always, keep you up to date on the latest news, we created this handy list of when different things will open — that is, if they plan to open — and what business will look like once they do. We’ll keep updating this list as we find more information, including important announcements from the city and state.
May 2
🍎 Farmers’ markets, considered essential businesses, were allowed to open.

Some businesses, including non-critical retail; “personal services,” like nail and hair salons, tattoo parlors and animal groomers; non-critical offices; and real estate showings were allowed to open or resume at a limited capacity (see the full guidelines for businesses here).
🐶 Adoptions also resumed May 9. In-shelter adoptions are allowed daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and virtual adoptions will be allowed Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. To adopt in-person at the shelter, call 720-337-1810 upon arrival.

July 25
🖥 The Underground Music Showcase won’t happen in person this year. But all is not lost: Organizers are still working on what to do that weekend, hinting at an online festival and fundraiser.
September 14
🏈The Broncos’ opening game, against the Tennessee Titans, is scheduled to air on ESPN starting at 8:10 p.m. The team’s schedule announcement doesn’t indicate whether the game will — or will not — have a live audience, but the front office does have a plan for its season ticket holders in case games have to be played without fans or canceled that includes the option of receiving a refund or credit toward a future game.
When will these things open? We don’t know.
Parks and rec centers
Playgrounds, skate parks, bike parks, basketball courts, tennis courts, picnic areas, dog parks and “similar spaces” remain closed with no signs of reopening any time soon; golf courses are open with certain restrictions. Parks are open to solitary rec activities, like walking, running and biking. Social distancing must be practiced, though you don’t have to wear a mask. Rec centers are closed.
Restaurants, bars and breweries
Sit-down dining continues to be banned in Denver and will be for the foreseeable future. In an interview on May 11, Mayor Michael Hancock told Colorado Matters that the city doesn’t necessarily “have the strategies in place where more people can come together, like in restaurants,” but that converses regularly with restaurateurs on developing those strategies.
The Downtown Denver Partnership has proposed closing some streets to allow restaurants and other businesses to operate with social distancing in mind.
Museums
All large cultural institutions in Denver continue to be closed, however they could open in early summer with certain restrictions, like limiting how many people can be inside the building at once.
Amusement parks
Both Lakeside and Elitch Gardens have postponed their opening days. Both are waiting for more guidance from industry groups and the state before they announce new open dates.
Libraries
The city hasn’t determined when to reopen libraries, but, in true librarian fashion, the system’s website has a very helpful guide on how to manage any books you have checked out or want to check out.
Gyms
The city has yet to determine when gyms will be allowed to reopen.
NBA, MLB games
Major League Baseball’s opening day should have been March 26, and the Rockies should have played their first home game of the season April 3. Obviously none of that happened, and the team has issued guidance for ticket holders of April and May games.
MLB owners agreed on May 11 to start the season around July 4; games would be played without fans. The owners still need to negotiate that plan with the players’ union.
Nuggets games, like all NBA games, are postponed (if you’ll recall, the league canceling its season was one of the first indicators of the severity of the COVID-19 crisis). On May 12, the Denver Post reported that some players have returned for individual workouts, signs of life for the 2020 season.
