E-Days is right around the corner, taking Place April 10-12 on the Mines campus. E-Days – short for Engineering Days – is an event where we welcome the larger Golden community to celebrate our Mines traditions. The Cardboard Boat Races will take place on Saturday, April 12 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at Clear Creek, and we’re looking forward to having you as spectators!
The E-Days Carnival is also once again open to the community! The event takes place from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday in the D Lot (Elm Street) on campus. Kids under 12 can attend for free. All other community members are $5/person, which includes access to the food trucks. Beer wristbands for 21+ are an additional $5.
Finally, we welcome the Golden community to join us to watch the E-Days Fireworks on Saturday night. It is an all-aerial show, so you should be able to see the show from many different areas of Golden. You’re also welcome to come view the show from campus. You can enter the North IM Field starting at 8:45 p.m. The community entrance is on the northeast side of D Lot. Be advised the Saturday E-Days Concert will still be going until 9 p.m. The fireworks show will start about 9:05 p.m., weather dependent.
Parking on and near campus on Saturday will be limited. The top level of the parking garage will be closed all day due to the fireworks fallout zone. D Lot and Q Lot are also closed. Elm Street will be closed between West Campus Rd and 17th St, and West Campus Rd will also be entry/exit only on the south side.
