Pumpkin Spice PLAYGROUND

Playground is Denver’s queer-forward after-work hangout where nostalgia meets nightlife. Each edition reimagines the best parts of being a kid — silly games, carefree chaos, and new friends — but now with PSL cocktails, drag hosts, and a whole lot more sparkle.

This October, we’re bringing the pumpkin patch to the patio — no hayrides required. Cozy up in your flannels and boots for cider donuts, PSL cocktails, campy yard games, and prizes for fall flair. Drag hosts Anita Goodman, Richi Ramos, and Lulu Krystals will keep the patch lively, while DJ Buddy Bravo spins nostalgic fall vibes and retro jams.

🍹 PSL Cocktails + Cider Donuts – Fall’s favorite flavors with a playful twist.
🎤 Drag Hosts – Anita Goodman, Richi Ramos, and Lulu Krystals keep the energy high, the games ridiculous, and the vibes fabulous.
🎶 Beats by DJ Buddy Bravo – Nostalgic throwbacks with a retro fall groove.
🎲 Games & Contests – From pumpkin tosses to “Basic Witch Energy” awards.
🌈 Community – A cozy, inclusive gathering for queer joy and chosen family.
