With spring officially in full swing, April is packed with fun events throughout Durango and the surrounding area. Ongoing community favorites like live theater, book clubs, open mic nights, and dance classes continue to bring people together all month long. Below are a few “can’t miss” things to do this coming month.
March Madness at Union Social House
As we head into the Final Four of the NCAA Basketball Tournament on Saturday, April 5th, catch the big games at Union Social House, complete with cold drinks and food from their onsite food trucks. The games start at 4 p.m. and 6:50 p.m. Then, come back on Monday, April 7th to watch the championship game and wrap up the tournament in good company.
Earth Day
Earth Day is on April 12th and is celebrated in Durango with a full day of community festivities. It all kicks off at 10:30 a.m. with the Procession of the Species Parade down Main Avenue to Buckley Park. This will be followed by a party in the park featuring live music by Afrobeatniks and Stillwater Music, performances by Ballet Folklorico de Durango, food and beverage vendors, raffles, and more. Durango Motor Company will also be demo-ing electric vehicles. Earth Day celebrations and related activities continue throughout the rest of the month.
4Corners Riversport Boat Swap & Sale
A local favorite, 4Corners Riversport is hosting its annual boat swap and sale on April 19-20. The store will offer many discounts as well as gently used gear from local consignors including kayaks, rafts, paddle boards, paddles, apparel, PFDs, and more.
