Today's the day to spend lollygagging about local parks. First up, the annual downtown farmers market season kicks off at 9 a.m. at Acacia Park (115 E. Platte Ave.). Between then and 3, you can grab some fresh carrots, cukes and the like, for great prices, from outfits such as Miller Farms. If it's hot, take a run through the water sprays at the Uncle Wilber Fountain. (If it's not, you can still watch the tuba dude pop up and down.) Then at 7, the Manitou Springs Summer Concert Series' opening night features a free performance by the Colorado Springs Concert Band in Soda Springs Park (1000 block of Manitou Avenue). All in all, a lovely way to enjoy a summer Monday. — Kirsten Akens
