Denver has an incredibly vibrant EDM community, and whether you’re looking to flow, dance, create, or just vibe, there’s no shortage of ways to immerse yourself in the scene. From artist pop-ups to bass-fueled breathwork classes, here’s your guide to wholesome activities for ravers in Denver.
Join a Flowmies Denver Meet-Up
One of the best ways to connect with the EDM community is by attending a Flowmies Denver meet-up. These gatherings bring together flow artists and festival-goers to practice moves, share skills, and meet new people. Some of the most popular meet-up spots include the Red Rocks tailgate in the Upper North Lot, where ravers warm up for shows with an energetic pre-party. Their most recent Spin and Slice event at Pizza 314, featured live DJ sets, pizza, and drinks. Other meet-ups have been held at unique locations such as Mountain Kava, Bounce Empire, and Cheesman Park. Many of these events offer special discounts or exclusive admission perks, making them even more enticing.
Play Bass Bingo at Larimer Lounge
For a fun and interactive way to meet new people in the EDM community, Bass Bingo at Larimer Lounge is a popular one. Located at 2721 Larimer Street in the lively RiNo district, this free event takes place every Thursday at 6 PM. Players get to participate in seven to eight rounds of bingo, with the chance to win tickets to bass and house shows, along with other exciting music-related prizes. The venue offers happy hour drink specials, and special guest artists frequently make appearances, adding an extra layer of excitement to the experience.
Discover Artist Pop-Ups & Underground Techno Raves
Artist pop-ups and secret techno raves in Denver are becoming increasingly popular. Follow Stage Hoppers to stay up to date on surprise artist pop-ups, such as the recent event with WonkyWilla at Little Man’s Ice Cream. Denver is dedicated to keeping the underground rave scene alive without commercializing it, which means events remain exclusive and thoughtfully curated. However, you can still tap into this hidden escape by texting a specific number or direct messaging Bunker Raves on Instagram to receive details about secret warehouse locations, which are disclosed shortly before the events take place.

This is a great way to prepare for festivals and improve confidence on the floor. T-Step Tuesdays are all about building technique, confidence, and community.
