This weekend, see Peso Pluma at Ball Arena, attend gardening workshops or check out an outdoor art exhibit.

1. 🎶 Peso Pluma

Latin music star Peso Pluma is bringing his Éxodo tour to Denver this weekend.

The big picture: The Mexican singer, born Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, has been on a tear over the last two years.

He won a Grammy earlier this year and has amassed nearly 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

As expected, songs from the recently released "Éxodo" make up most of the setlist along with other hits like "Rubicon," "Lady Gaga" and "Ella Baila Sola."

Esteban's thought bubble: Peso Pluma — La Doble P, for those who know — has earned a massive and dedicated fan base thanks to thumping music mixing classic banda music with a modern sound.
