  • "Win or lose, every player who steps on this court is making a difference. That's the point."

  • "This isn't just a tournament. It's what a community looks like when it decides to do something good together."

Friday: The Kickoff

The Parlando Open kicks off on Friday, June 26th at the Ranch Country Club and Broomfield Swim and Tennis Club.

Friday night is where the weekend truly begins. Matches begin surrounded by a kickoff party bringing together players, families, and the broader Parlando community as the first ace is served. If you aren’t playing, expect live music, BBQ, cold drinks, and the kind of loose, easy energy that only comes from a group of people who are genuinely excited about the two days ahead.

In addition to first-round matches, Friday is part welcome party, part pep rally, and completely worth showing up for. Come meet your competition, find your doubles partner under the gazebo, and get a feel for what this community is all about before the competition heats up on Saturday morning.

Details on music, food, and more coming soon.

Friday, June 26th. Don't miss the start of something great.

Saturday: Turn It Up

If Friday night gets the party started, Saturday night is where it peaks.

After a full day of competition on the courts, Saturday evening is when the Parlando Open truly comes alive. The music gets louder, the energy gets higher, and the whole community: players, families, volunteers, and fans come together around great pasta, cold drinks, and live music that carries well into the night. This is the night people talk about for the rest of the year.

Saturday night is the heartbeat of the Parlando Open weekend. It's where rivalries become friendships, where strangers become regulars, and where the music reminds everyone why this community keeps showing up year after year. The chairs fill up fast, the lights burn late, and magic happens when the right people are in the right place at the right time. That's Saturday night at the Parlando Open.

Details on music, food, and more coming soon.

Breakfast at Broomfield

People gathered under a large outdoor canopy at a food stand at a summery event, with tennis courts and green trees in the background, serving food and snacks.

If Saturday night is where the energy peaks, Sunday morning is where the community breathes together one last time.

Move over Wimbledon, we've got our own Sunday morning tradition starting this year! Join us for Breakfast at Broomfield on Sunday morning, June 28 as we serve up fresh bagels, mimosas, and a front-row seat to the championship finals across all divisions. We're planning a fun, relaxed atmosphere to cap off an incredible weekend of tennis and community.

It's a small tradition that carries a lot of weight. After two days of competition, music, and memories, there's something special about starting the final day the right way; together, unhurried, and genuinely glad to be in the same place at the same time. The morning calm before the last rally.

Please note that the Sunday schedule may vary based on the size of event draws and any rain delays throughout the weekend. More details will follow as we get closer to the tournament!

Sunday, June 28th. The best way to start the last day.

Julie’s Program

Julie is Travis's sister. And music, she'll tell you, is her "favorite thing in the whole world."

For Julie, and for many people living with developmental and intellectual disabilities, or who are neurodiverse, music is more than entertainment. It's a way to communicate. A way to feel joy. A way to be part of something together.

Julie's Program was created to make sure more people in our community have access to exactly that.

Made possible in large part through an annual gift from The Ritter Family, Julie's Program provides music and theatrical programming designed to be accessible, inclusive, and genuinely engaging for people with different needs and abilities.

When you play in the Parlando Open, you're helping fund that work. Every registration, every raffle ticket, every match played on these courts contributes to a program that brings music, and everything that comes with it, to the people who deserve it most.

That's why we play.

UNITE Spotlight

Musicians rely on their bodies just like athletes do. Long rehearsals, repetitive movements, and posture demands can lead to shoulder, wrist, neck, and upper back pain, especially when stress builds over time.

For student musicians, early intervention is key to developing healthy habits that prevent chronic injury during their most formative years of practice. But wellness doesn't stop at the instrument. We also support the families behind the music.

Whether you're dealing with knee pain on your hikes or runs, or your child is recovering from a sports injury..., our goal is to keep the entire household moving without pain.

Our approach is proactive and movement-based. We identify the underlying patterns

contributing to discomfort and create a clear plan to help you or your child stay active, confident, and performing long term. You can find our website here.

As part of our partnership with the Parlando community, we’re offering a complimentary Movement Assessment to help you address recurring pain or catch small issues before they turn into bigger ones.

Conexus Spotlight

A full-service, independent insurance agency based in Westminster, Colorado, Conexus has been a trusted presence in the Denver north metro area for over 60 years. But what sets them apart isn't just their experience, it's their philosophy. Conexus is a people-first organization, committed to doing right by their clients, employees, and community, creating real connections that make them feel less like a vendor and more like a partner. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's exactly what the Parlando Open is built on too.

Through their Conexus Cares program, they actively partner with nonprofits and community organizations throughout the year, so it's no surprise they found a home here. Sponsoring the One Point Slam isn't just a business decision for Conexus. It's a reflection of who they are. We are incredibly grateful to have them as part of this weekend, and we'd encourage anyone looking for an insurance partner who genuinely puts people first to visit them here.
