This Halloween, Dairy Block doesn’t just haunt — it slays. 🪩

Fuel up at @AmpArtisanCoffee and let @Finns.Studio’s bold pop-art takeover electrify your Alley stroll. Between the neon, the comic-book vibes, and a perfectly poured matcha or latte, you’ll feel like the main character in your own graphic novel. POW! 💥

Who’s ready for a night of Colorado’s finest wines under the Alley lights? 🍇✨
🎤 Meet our final Artist on the Rise of the summer: @BUUDROWmusic!
Taking the stage THIS Saturday is BUUDROW, a Denver-based musician whose songs explore life, loss, and the complicated emotions we experience in relationships. After the sudden loss of his sister in 2017, BUUDROW turned to music as a way to heal, creating a sound that is both deeply personal and universally moving. His live performance carries that journey of resilience and hope, promising a night that will resonate long after the final chord.

End summer on a high note with us — who’s coming out for BUUDROW’s set? 👀
What! A! Summer! ⚡
For the second year, Dairy Block After Dark returned to the Alley as our signature summer night market series. Over three nights, The Block came alive with music, art, food, and the energy of community gathered together.
Every market offered something special: projection-mapped visuals by @DSDI_ and disco installs from @AbstruseLike to all-vinyl DJ sets by @ESP.HiFi that kept the Alley moving, each market was a true celebration. 🪩 @HomesteadCircus wowed the crowd, @RockyMountainRecordShow set up shop for crate-diggers, and our lineup of makers brought everything from artisan chocolates to hand-knit fashion to mushroom-powered wellness.
💥 A big thank you to @FiresideAtFive for partnering with us to fill The Alley with creativity, culture, and connection across three incredible summer nights!
We’re already dreaming about what’s next — and yes, After Dark will be back next summer! Until then, keep your eyes peeled… because this fall, the Alley transforms yet again for @Flatstock 🎨 an art exhibition of the world’s most influential gig poster artists, in partnership with @PosterInstitute and @FiresideAtFive.
Here’s to the makers, the music, and the memories! ✨
