Steamboat Springs — The weather calls for sunny, blue skies this weekend just in time for Father’s Day, Mustang Roundup, the first Pro Rodeo Series and the Summer Solstice. But what else is going on? Here are some of Explore’s top picks on where to go, who to see and what to do this weekend.
Live music
Eric Andersen, who performs folk, blues and jazz, will be at the outdoor patio of Cugino’s for the first time. Andersen is a former music teacher and plays at various venues in Northern Colorado. On Saturday, he will be at the Rusted Porch at 6 p.m. This is the first time Cugino’s will have live music and the restaurant will also introduce its new menu.

All-star open mic night

Riparian and river watershed study
Looking for a Father’s Day event? Join Yampa River State Park interpretive ranger Laura with hands-on, interactive discovery into local water systems to raise awareness and desire to keep Routt County rivers healthy and clean. The workshop will be followed by a “Hooked on Dad” craft workshop for all ages.

Paddleboard yoga
Whether it’s the first time doing yoga or paddleboarding, this class is great for beginners and is led at a pace that is comfortable, yet effective, in learning both. All boards are stable and allow for some error without getting wet. Boards and paddles are included with the class. If using personal paddle board, the cost will be slightly less.
Paddleboard yoga | 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. | Saturday, June 20 | Fetcher Pond, located behind Walgreens | Cost varies; see website at http://www.steamboatpaddleboardadventures.com/yoga/ for more information.
Summer solstice
Sunday marks the onset of summer with the longest day of the year. It’s also the first official United Nations International Yoga Day. To celebrate the day with sun salutations, Elkstone Farm will host a day of yoga with local instructors. Join Alex Mathisen and Alex Berger for an invigorating yoga class (outdoors weather permitting) followed by a farm tour and light refreshments grown on the farm. The event is limited to 20 people.
Summer Solstice | 10 a.m. to noon | Saturday, June 20 | Elkstone Farm, 40345 Virtus Way| Cost for the all-day event is $40 total and the cost for just the yoga is $15.
