Denver Film Summer Scream at Lakeside Amusement Park
This drop already happened.
- When
- Thu, Aug 20, 2026 · evening
- Where
- Lakeside Amusement Park, Lakeside
- Price
- ticketed
For one night a year, Denver Film buys out the 1908-era Lakeside Amusement Park, and that takeover is the entire pitch: a ticket buys unlimited rides and drinks on a vintage wooden coaster and neon midway after hours. There is no other night you can do this.
It is the nonprofit's largest fundraiser, so the crowd skews adult and the mood is part party, part nostalgia trip. The August 20 date is one-night-only, which makes it a hard last-chance hook the moment tickets move.
