Spark Up Creativity: May 2025 Arts & Culture Events

At Best Buds, we believe cannabis and creativity are soulmates—like jazz and saxophones, like brush strokes and color. This May, Colorado’s cultural calendar is bursting with events that celebrate self-expression, imagination, and community. Best Buds is here to light the way (literally and figuratively) to a few events that pair perfectly with the spirit of cannabis.

Here’s what we’re hyped about this month:

1. Denver Arts Festival – May 24–25

Over 140 artists gather at Central Park’s Conservatory Green to showcase everything from sculpture to street art. It’s a celebration of local talent—and a reminder that art, like cannabis, takes many forms.

Best Buds Recommends: Stop by your nearest Best Buds for a creativity-boosting sativa before strolling through booths and buying something made by hand, not mass-produced. Try a top shelf, small batch, hand trimmed, literal work of cannabis art- that goes by the name of TacoCaT.

2. CO Chocolate Festival – May 9-10

Everything chocolate that you can imagine will be here, not to mention the Mother’s Day Gift Market with jewelry, clothes, imports, crafts, the works! There will be tastings, samples, contests, games... and more.

Best Buds Tip: Roll something smooth and tasty (think a joint of IT Cannabis) and get your munchies on in the National Western Expo Hall.

3. Grace Noel Art Classes – All Month Long

Take a resin workshop or make flower jewelry at the Denver Art Society. Bring a friend or just your favorite hybrid strain and reconnect with your inner artist.

Creative Spark: We believe in “Puff, then Paint.” Cannabis has a long history of inspiring new ideas—and what better way to honor that than literally making something beautiful?

4. "The Hot Wing King" – Through May 25

This award-winning play at the Denver Center blends humor, identity, and love—everything we stand for at Best Buds (plus wings). Make it a night out: a pre-show gummy, the play, then food with friends.

Cannabis & Culture: Always Intertwined

Cannabis isn’t just about getting high. It’s about getting inspired. It's about mental health. It’s about enhancing your experiences—whether that’s seeing live jazz, painting with friends, or laughing at a great play. And it’s about supporting the creative forces that make Colorado so vibrant, and our daily lives more enjoyable.

At Best Buds, we’re more than a dispensary—we’re a part of the scene. We support local artists, musicians, and a variety of cultural events. Because when the stigma of marijuana dies, and creativity thrives, it increases the well-being of our community as a whole.
