What to Bring to a Summer Concert, Picnic, or Cookout in Denver
Summer in Denver means packed weekends: outdoor concerts, picnics in the park, mountain weekends, backyard BBQs, camping trips, and long evenings spent outside with friends. The hardest part is usually figuring out the food.
You want something that:
travels well
feeds a group easily
doesn’t require a ton of prep
actually fills people up
At BOXBOX, our Family BOXES and large size single salads naturally fit a lot of these summer occasions. Everything is packed fresh and designed for easy pickup from our fast-casual restaurant in Park Hill on Colfax.
Red Rocks season is here!
Outdoor Concerts & Summer Shows
Whether you’re headed to Levitt Pavilion, an outdoor movie night, or a concert at Red Rocks, portable food matters. Freshly made, composed salads are easy to pack, easy to serve, crowd-pleasing, and hold up well before the show starts. Our picks? Buffalo Chicken Salad, GF Coconut Sesame Noodles, Orzo Pickle Party, Satay Chicken Salad, to name a few!
Our Family BOXES feed 4–6 people and make a solid option for groups meeting up before concerts or outdoor events. With your choice of six salads, sides, or brownies packed neatly in one box, all you need to do is open the box and enjoy.
The Family BOX includes your choice of six salads and more and feeds 4-6 people.
Picnics & Park Nights
City Park, Cheesman Park, Sloan’s Lake, Wash Park — Denver summers are built for picnic dinners.
The best picnic meals are simple:
easy to transport
easy to share
filling enough to be a full dinner
Large portions of BOXBOX salads and shareable sides work especially well for park hangs, sunset dinners, and casual gatherings with friends.
BBQs & Cookouts
Sometimes you need a side dish that’s a little fresher than chips or grocery store pasta salad.
Our shareable single salads — noodles, broccoli, slaws, potatoes, beans, seasonal veg, and more — are built for groups and easy to bring to cookouts, backyard hangs, and neighborhood dinners.
They also pair well alongside grilled food if you’re hosting and don’t want to make everything yourself.
Camping Trips & Mountain Weekends
Before heading into the mountains, it helps to grab meals that are easy to pack into a cooler and ready to eat after a long day outside.
Single salads, individual Bento BOXES, and Family BOXES travel well for camping trips, cabin weekends, road trips, and post-hike meals. Everything is packed fresh and designed for pickup on your way out of town.
