Outdoor theater
Load the family in the car and get revved up for the fourth year of Denver Mart Drive-In (451 E. 58th Ave.) Featuring recently released films on the largest outdoor screen in the region, the theater uses a digital projection system with FM transmissions. Every Friday and Saturday through Labor Day, you can drive in for a double feature when the theater opens May 25 with “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and “The Avengers: Infinity War.” Gates open at 7 p.m., with the first film starting at sundown. The Mart Café serves food and drinks prior to show time. Tickets are $10 per person (7 and up) and children (6 and under) get in free. Buying tickets online is recommended to guarantee a spot, or purchase tickets at the gate. (They also offer limited patio seating, available first-come, first-served.) denvermartdrivein.com
Hole-in-one
Celebrate one of the “holiest” days of the year on June 1 with a sweet freebie. That’s when doughnut lovers rejoice because it’s National Doughnut Day. To honor the treat, you can make three stops to enjoy Homer’s favorite snack. No “dough” necessary at two. At Krispy Kreme, you can get a free doughnut of your choice. Next, LaMar’s Donuts is giving customers a free doughnut — any variety with a hole in it. Finally, dunk a free Classic Donut with the purchase of any beverage at Dunkin’ Donuts. Neighborhood doughnut shops may also be participating, so check there for sweet offers, too. krispykreme.com; lamars.com; dunkindonuts.com
Fore!
If you’re looking for something different, you can drive your “golf cart” to Denver International Airport. From May 23 to June 24, DIA is hosting an 18-hole course of putt putt golf for free on the plaza between Jeppesen Terminal and The Westin Hotel. The course is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Golfers still have to pay for parking, so carpool or take public transportation to keep the fun on the frugal side. Who can say they’ve played miniature golf at an airport? denevents.flydenver.com
Waived flags

If you’d like to show a little more pride, the store is also offering a U.S. flag set with a banner on sale for $14.99. acehardware.com
