Downtown Niwot businesses line up socially distanced events for August

August has seen local Niwot businesses getting creative with their offerings.

From socially distanced movie screenings to live music to car shows, there are more than a few reasons why you might want to swing through downtown Niwot this month.

Car Show Fridays at Cottonwood Square

From 5 to 8 p.m. every Friday in August, Cottonwood Square will be hosting a socially distanced car show. People are invited to bring their hot rods, classics, sports cars, motorcycles, and even their antiques out to support local businesses.

The first two events have already seen a fine turnout with around 20 cars for the first event. The second event had everything from Niwot Market's classic red Chevy pick-up to a Ferrari and two John Deere farm tractors.

For automotive enthusiasts interested in attending or bringing their own cars out, the event will continue on August 21 and August 28 with cool rides, good food, and live entertainment in Cottonwood Square.

Save The Music Series at Niwot Tavern

If you are looking for live music, look no further than Niwot Tavern's summer "Save The Music" series. Advertised as "socially distanced live music" you can enjoy the performances while sitting outside at Cottonwood Square with some Niwot Tavern take-out.

For the remainder of August, the Niwot Tavern has lined up a host of musical talent, with live music from 5 to 7 pm most weeknights and extending to 8 p.m. on Friday night and weekend evenings. Visit http://www.niwottavern.com/events for a list of upcoming musicians.
