Southlands Shopping Center is launching its summer event series including their popular Farmer’s Markets and Sound of Southlands concert series, Movies on the Square, and their 3rd annual Wine Walks. Southlands paused or reworked many of its events in 2020 and is looking forward to the return of community-focused events this summer.
For the comfort of their guests, Southlands will limit seating capacity for concerts and movies and is charging $5 per group per event. All proceeds will be donated to the Cherry Creek School District Foundation and the Aurora Public Schools Foundation.
“Our commitment to the community is one of our pillars here at Southlands,” said Martin Liles, General Manager. “As we look forward to the return of in-person events, our commitment to the community is stronger than ever. That is one of the reasons we’ve partnered with Cherry Creek and Aurora School Foundations for our summer series. Our dedication to helping family and friends create long-lasting memories is a priority, while also serving our community.”
Jill Henden, Executive Director of CCSF said “We are proud to be a community partner of Southlands Shopping Center and because of partnerships, we are able to continue to support K-12 education in our community. These $5 donations add up, and directly impact the next generation of educators and student communities. Our educator initiative grants are crucial to our district’s success and are awarded to classroom teachers that use innovative and creative instructional approaches.”
Outlined below are the summer events with corresponding dates:
Farmer’s Market: Every Saturday until September 25, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m., the Farmer’s Market offers guests various products from local artisans along with foods including seasonal produce, western slope fruit, cured meats, homemade pasta, baked goods, and more.
