Stacked weekend, FoCo. Here's what might be worth your time. Check it...

Live MusicColony House with Mercury & Desiderata at the Aggie Theatre (Friday, doors 7pm) — indie rock with soaring vocals and arena-ready hooks. One of the better shows rolling through this month. 

Deadphish Orchestra at Mishawaka (Friday, 8pm) — Phish meets Grateful Dead in a jam-band mashup up in Bellvue. If you know, you know. 

🌱 For the Gardeners: 19th Annual Seed Swap & Giveaway at Old Town Library (Saturday, 10am) — free seeds, local gardening knowledge, and the best kind of early spring energy. Genuinely one of the more NOCO things happening this weekend. 

Fort Collins Downtown First Friday Art Walk — tonight, starting at 6pm. Free, self-guided, and a good excuse to wander Old Town. 

Worth the drive: 

Sandhill Crane viewing at Fossil Creek Reservoir — sunrise or sunset this weekend. The cranes are moving through right now, and the sound alone is worth taking the chance to see them. 

Sunday in the Park with George at UNC Langworthy Theatre, Greeley (Saturday 7:30pm & Sunday 5pm) — Sondheim's Pulitzer-winner. Short drive, great show. 

Home & Garden Show at Island Grove Regional Park, Greeley (all weekend, noon–3pm) — if seed starting season has you itchy, this one's worth the trip. 

We send the full Northern Colorado weekly roundup every Tuesday(ish) — free, covers everything from Berthoud to the Wyoming line. If you love this and want tons more events and some fun NOCO info, a link to my newsletter is in the first comment.
