A galactic weekend of things to do is coming to Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region! Friday, two cosmic events are happening downtown on the same night. The Colorado Springs Philharmonic performs the live score to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back at Pikes Peak Center, 7:30pm. Right next door at Weidner Field, the Switchbacks host Orange County SC for GALACTIC NIGHT presented by D1. Kickoff is 7pm. Suit up in your best space gear. The Oxymorons bring family-friendly improv to Peak Improv Theater Saturday at 7pm, $15. Clean comedy for all ages. Saturday is loaded. Totally Rad Vintage Fest at the Colorado Springs Event Center, 10am-5pm, only $8 in advance (kids 12 and under FREE). 80s, 90s and Y2K vendors, free-play vintage arcade, plus the Rad Rewind Museum. Empire Strikes Back gets a second showing Saturday night at Pikes Peak Center. Hillside Gardens is hosting their annual Tomato Weekend with 68 varieties of locally grown tomato plants. Free to browse all weekend. Heads up: the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Run to the Shrine is SOLD OUT for Saturday but Sunday May 10 spots are still available. Plus a Cave of the Winds sound bath in Manitou Springs Saturday night. Save this post for your weekend plans. Looking for more weekend events in the Springs and Manitou? Follow along.
