Free things to do in Colorado Springs this weekend
Last updated 3h ago · 4 upcoming
Four free things this weekend, and your wallet doesn't have to open once. Painting with a Twist is running its Fix or Finish free session both Friday, Sep 18, and Saturday, Sep 19, so if you've got an unfinished canvas guilting you from the closet, that's your excuse. Saturday also brings Art Walk on Knob Hill at Elev8 Arts, good for a wander if the weather cooperates (this is Colorado, so no promises past noon). Sunday closes things out with the Sunday Market in Acacia Park, which is basically the default answer for what to do downtown when you're broke but restless. Four events, two categories, zero excuses. Layer up, check the sky before you commit to anything outdoors, and pick your weekend accordingly.
