Sophie is a young orphan girl living in an orphanage run by the cantankerous and abusive Mrs. Clonkers. One night, Sophie sees a cloaked giant blowing something through a trumpet into a bedroom window down the street; whereupon the giant notices her and carries her to his homeland of Giant Country. There, he identifies himself as the Big Friendly Giant, who, at night, blows dreams into the bedrooms of children, while the other giants are man-eating, and they prefer children. Because the BFG refuses to eat people or steal food from humans, he subsists on a revolting vegetable known as a “Snozzcumber”. Sophie and the BFG quickly become friends; but Sophie is soon put in danger by the sudden arrival of the Bloodbottler giant, who suspects the BFG of harbouring a human.

Fans of taikō drumming, teriyaki chicken, and vintage Japanese textiles won’t want to miss this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival (in Japanese, Sakura Matsuri).
Held each year since 1972, the festival celebrates the Japanese American (JA) heritage and culture of Front Range residents through live entertainment, food and drink, arts and crafts, and informative exhibits and demonstrations.
Among the entertainment will be Denver Taiko, whose rousing drum performances have in past years drawn the festival’s biggest crowds, as well as performances of Japanese dance, koto and shamisen, and martial arts. Inside the Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple, attendees will find exhibits of ikebana (flower arrangement) and bonsai, and informative lectures on Buddhism. The temple’s gymnasium is home to a variety of food and drink, including the popular teriyaki chicken dinner plate, sushi, and delicious Japanese sweets called manju and mochi. Volunteers will be pouring complementary hot green tea, but if that’s too much heat on a warm summer day, head to one of our two beer gardens for a cold glass and a refreshing bowl of chilled somen (noodles). Be sure to try the special Sakura Matsuri craft brew made by our neighbor, Jagged Mountain Brewery. If sake is more to your liking, try Portland-based Sake One’s offerings.
Free entry and fun for people of all ages.

City Park Jazz: Otis Taylor
2016-06-26 18:00 - 20:00 | City Park, Denver, CO, United States
With Otis Taylor, it’s best to expect the unexpected. While his music, an amalgamation of roots styles in their rawest form, discusses heavyweight issues like murder, homelessness, tyranny, and injustice, his personal style is lighthearted. “I’m good at dark, but I’m not a particularly unhappy person,” he says. “I’d just like to make enough money to buy a Porsche.”
Whether it’s his unique instrumentation (he fancies banjo and cello), or it’s the sudden sound of a female vocal, or a seemingly upbeat optimistic song takes a turn for the forlorn, what remains consistent is poignant storytelling based in truth and history. On his sixth CD, Double V, Taylor unleashes intimate tales as he produces an aural excursion inspired by an unconventional childhood.
All City Park Jazz concerts are FREE and take place rain or shine at the bandstand by the pavilion on Ferril Lake
Free parking is available throughout the park—please be a good neighbor and avoid parking on side-streets around the park. Or better yet, ride your bike and enjoy free bike parking monitored by City Park Jazz volunteers at the Bike Corral in the Pavilion from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

**Final Week: Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends**
2016-06-28 - 2016-07-03 | Museum of Contemporary Art, 1485 Delgany St, denver, CO, 80202, United States
Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends surveys the last ten years of the artist’s practice, bringing together video, sculpture, and works on paper for the first time. The works on view highlight the artist’s unique process that migrates from two dimensions to three and back again. Bress’s imaginative characters are born as doodles or collages, take shape as sculptural costumes, and come to life on video, as they are performed in front of elaborately composed backdrops. Connecting the past with the present, Bress’s “friends” imaginatively breach disciplinary distinctions amongst painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, and video.
Closes July 3, 2016.

**Final Week: Laura Shill: Phantom Touch**
2016-06-28 - 2016-07-03 | Museum of Contemporary Art, 1485 Delgany St, denver, CO, 80202, United States
For her first solo museum exhibition, Denver-based Laura Shill will create a new installation that features reclaimed materials in richly mannered, densely layered environments and which plays with the space as a site of disclosure and concealment. It will also include many of her Absent Lovers series in which the artist appropriates images from covers of Harlequin romance novels to create hauntingly beautiful cyanotypes. These works often reveal a violent, sinister, and sexualized dynamic latent in the clichéd depictions of lovers from these stories.
Closes July 3, 2016.
