The Legendary Warren Miller’s 2026 Film – “DAYS OFF”

Warren Miller’s Days Off marks the 77th installment of winter’s most beloved film tradition, and it asks a question only Warren Miller can answer: what do the world’s greatest ski athletes do on their days off?

Host Katie Burrell — professional leisure athlete, filmmaker, and certified ski industry lifer — has spent a decade turning her passion into her job. This year, she’s turning it back into passion. Following Katie on a globe-spanning journey, Days Off uncovers the unscripted joy that lives just beneath the surface of the industry: the runs that never make the competition results, the relationships forged in backcountry lodges, the powder stashes known only to locals.

From the remote heli-skiing peaks of Alaska with Sam Kuch and Craig Murray, to the deep powder of Hokkaido, Japan with Jess Kimura, to the iconic slopes of Deer Valley and the heart of Canada — Revelstoke, Whistler, Pemberton, and Banff — Days Off is a celebration of skiing for skiing’s sake.

Winter’s greatest tradition is back. And this time, it’s clocking out.

A portion of net ticket proceeds from this event will be donated to Share Winter Foundation to expand youth access to winter sports. Ticket purchases are not tax-deductible for the buyer. Learn more at sharewinterfoundation.org.

Grab your tickets soon as prices go up on two weeks before the show!

“Tools of the Trade” Album Release Party

December 4, 2026 • 7:00 pm

DOORS 6:00pm  •  18+ (Under 18 allowed with parent or guardian)

Golden is at its most festive tonight. Washington Avenue glows for the Olde Golden Candlelight Walk, and the Buffalo Rose is the warm, music-filled place to end your evening.

Join Colorado’s own Second Gear Bluegrass as they celebrate the release of their debut album, Tools of the Trade, with a holiday homecoming built for the season. Expect driving fiddle and banjo, sweet mandolin and dobro, and the tight, high-lonesome harmonies of traditional bluegrass, played by veterans of the Front Range scene.

Make it a night out. Bundle up and stroll the candlelit walk with family and friends, then come in from the cold for dinner, a seasonal cocktail and a front-row seat to some of the finest homegrown bluegrass in the state.

Special Guest Mighty Holler will kick off the night diring the magical Golden Candlelight walk and lead the party indoors for the Second Gear’s album release party! Hear brand-new songs from the album alongside timeless classics that sound just right this time of year.

It’s a celebration of the holidays, of small-town Golden tradition and of the local musicians who keep this music alive. Grab a table, raise a glass and help Second Gear mark a milestone they’ve been working toward for decades.

Light the town, hear the music, share the season. Tables are limited, so reserve yours early.

Raised around funk, jazz, and rock in the Bay Area, he fell hard for bluegrass while attending college in Boulder.

December 14, 2026 • 6:30 pm

DOORS 5:00pm  •  All Ages

Live symphonic music, a three-course holiday dinner and a good cause, all in one night in historic downtown Golden.

This December, the most festive table in Golden is at the Buffalo Rose. Musicians from the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra are taking over the Rose for a lively night of holiday music, great food and good company. Every ticket helps keep classical music going in our community. 

Two sets, twice the fun

• Set one: JSO Winds. Flutes, clarinets, oboes and bassoons play bright, sparkling holiday favorites as dinner is served.
• Set two: JSO Brass. Trumpets, horns, trombones and tuba close the night with big, bold holiday sound. It’s the kind of music you feel in your chest, and you’ll want to sing along.

This isn’t a hushed concert hall. It’s an up-close, toe-tapping holiday party with world-class musicians just a few feet from your table.

The feast. Chef Chris Zekos and the Buffalo Rose kitchen are serving a three-course holiday dinner made just for this night. You’ll choose your entrée when you check out.

The cause. For more than 70 years, the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra has been Golden’s hometown orchestra. Your ticket supports its concerts, its Young Artists Competition, its youth and student programs, and its outreach across Jefferson County.

Bring everyone. Grandparents, grandkids, the in-laws in town for the holidays, your office crew. Skip the Monday couch and start a new holiday tradition with the people you love.
