Denver Days

Celebrating The Spirit Of The Mile High City

GET YOUR GRILLS READY! Let's celebrate together Denver's Annual Tradition, Denver Days. Eleven years ago, Mayor Michael B. Hancock envisioned a city where neighbors, not only met their neighbors, but connected with one another, making our community a safer place to live.

The 2023 Denver Days celebrations will run through the first weekend of August. Host a block party, community picnic, and/or a service project, in small and organic gatherings and get closer to your neighbors and community!
