There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert. But this 4th of July weekend at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, we may just have the next best thing with our Laser Grateful Dead Show, a dazzling celebration of music, light, freedom and color for all you Deadheads out there. 

So come one, come all — put on your red and white, blue suede shoes and celebrate Independence Day with a little trip to the Museum. This immersive laser light experience will have you grooving to some of the Dead’s most transcendent jams under a swirl of psychedelic starlight. Whether you first saw the Grateful Dead at Red Rocks in ’78 or just discovered them this past year, this show is sure to light up your 4th of July weekend!

Trip tip: 

Get to the Museum a bit early for a little fun before the lasers hit — maybe take an hour or two to wander through our most mind-blowing exhibitions like “Gems and Minerals,” “Space Odyssey” or catch our temporary exhibition “Angkor: The Lost Empire of Cambodia” for free with general admission into the Museum.
