🎶🪴 Crates, Clippings & Cold Beers: Sunday in Fort Collins Is Gonna Be Real Fun
Hey FoCo,
First off—yep, we totally goofed. Last Wednesday, we shouted out the Foodie Walk a week too late (it’s always the third Friday of the month, not the fourth). Thanks to everyone who gently let us know—we see you, and we appreciate the catch. Won’t let the snacks mislead us again. 😅
But no fear—this weekend has plenty to make up for it.
This Sunday, April 27, Fort Collins is coming through with two A+ events for the books.
It’s the perfect kind of choose-your-own-FoCo-day—or do both and leave with a Bowie LP and a pothos. Scroll down for all the details, plus weekend weather, event listings, and a few fun ways to help shape what we build next.
Let’s get weird (and maybe a little leafy).
🎶 Vinyl Finds & Plant Swaps: Sunday Plans, Solved
This Sunday, April 27, Fort Collins is throwing down two very different (but equally excellent) vibes — and you’re totally allowed to do both.
🎧 Northern Colorado Record Show
 | 🕰 10 AM Early Bird | 11 AM–5 PM General Admission 📍 Breckenridge Brewery, 1020 E Lincoln Ave Whether you’re a crate-digging diehard or just hunting for that one missing Bowie album, the Northern Colorado Record Show is your analog dream day. Browse thousands of new & used records from over 20 vendors, grab a pint and a burger from Breckenridge Brewery, and soak up the sounds of live DJs spinning real vinyl all day. 🎟️ Early Bird Access: Get in early by snagging a ticket from All Sales Vinyl, Breckenridge Brewery, or Downtown Sound. 💿 Expect: Records, gear, music merch, giveaways, and deep-dive convos about album art |
🌿 Fat Tire Sustainable Swap: Plant Edition
 | 🕰 Starts 11 AM 📍 New Belgium Brewing, 500 Linden St Not into records? Trade your green thumb for a cold beer at New Belgium’s Sustainable Swap Series. This month’s theme: Plants. Bring a clipping, starter, or leafy friend to swap, and they’ll hook you up with a FREE Fat Tire. Seriously. 🪴 What else is coming up?
|
🧡 Whether you’re spinning vinyl or swapping spider plants, Sunday’s shaping up to be Fort Collins at its most weird, wonderful, and wildly fun.
Let us know what record (or leafy pal) you walked home with!

🌤 Fort Collins Weather Outlook
Today (Fri, Apr 25) | PM Showers — 44° / 41° | Gray skies with a 33% chance of afternoon rain. Light layers, waterproof shoes, and maybe keep that record show visit indoors till the drizzle passes.
Saturday, Apr 26 | AM Clouds / PM Sun — 69° / 43° | Cloudy start, sunny finish. Great day for a hike, a patio brunch, or swapping plants at New Belgium.
Sunday, Apr 27 | Mostly Sunny — 77° / 44° | A chef’s kiss kind of Sunday. Warm, bright, and breezy—the perfect day to browse vinyl, sip local brews, and swap succulents.
Monday, Apr 28 | Partly Cloudy — 63° / 38° | A touch cooler with a slight breeze. A light jacket and some post-weekend mellow vibes are the move.
Thanks again for sticking with us! 😅
 | Whether you walked away with a rare Talking Heads LP or a brand-new spider plant, we want to hear about it—snap a pic and tag us so we can see your Sunday finds! And hey—thanks again for sticking with us, even when we get a little too hyped about snacks on the wrong Friday. 😅 Catch you next week for more FoCo gems, gigs, and good vibes. —Your What’s Happenin’ Fort Collins crew 💛 🧠 Trivia Answer: If you guessed 2.3 acres, give yourself a standing ovation in Civic Center Park (just not during a concert). That’s the size of this downtown gem where FoCo gathers all year long. |
