Date-night ideas in Colorado Springs
Last updated 12d ago · 16 upcoming
Cold snap or not, nobody wants a dinner-and-a-movie rerun this week. Sunday, Oct 25 is stacked: paint a tote bag at COATI, sip something at Blackhat Distillery's paint-and-sip, or go the opposite direction entirely with Paranormal Cirque Voodoo at the Event Center, which also runs Monday if Sunday's booked solid. Wednesday brings Spirits of the Night at the Fine Arts Center for a quieter, moodier option. Thursday and Friday hand things to the music crowd — The Purple Onion and Summa Taphouse both have live sets, low-key enough for conversation, loud enough to skip awkward silences. Looking further out, the Pikes Peak Center has two big swings on the calendar: The Billy Joel Legacy on Nov 1 and the Philharmonic doing Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky on Nov 14, both solid if you want to dress up a little. There's also a food and drink fundraiser, Uncorked, on Nov 6 for something with a cause attached. Pick your temperature — literal and emotional — and go.

Frequently asked
What's a good date-night option in Colorado Springs this weekend?
Sunday, Oct 25 has three different vibes: a tote bag painting party at COATI, a paint-and-sip at Blackhat Distillery, or Paranormal Cirque Voodoo at the Colorado Springs Event Center if you want something weirder. Paranormal Cirque also runs Monday, Oct 26.
Any live music date nights coming up?
The Purple Onion has a show Thursday, Oct 29, and Summa Taphouse has live music Friday, Oct 30. For something bigger and seated, the Pikes Peak Center hosts The Billy Joel Legacy on Nov 1 and the Colorado Springs Philharmonic on Nov 14.
Is there anything more low-key and artsy for a date?
Spirits of the Night at the Fine Arts Center on Wednesday, Oct 28 fits that bill, and the paint-and-sip and tote bag painting events earlier in the week are good if you want to make something with your hands instead of just sitting through a show.
Are there food or drink events good for a date night?
Uncorked: A Night for Second Chances at Norris Penrose Event Center on Friday, Nov 6 is the food-and-drink pick on the calendar right now.
What if we want something theatrical instead of music or art?
Paranormal Cirque Voodoo runs at the Colorado Springs Event Center Oct 25 and 26, and Spirits of the Night at the Fine Arts Center hits Oct 28. Both lean theater over straight-up concert or gallery stuff.
