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! Before planning your event, make sure you visit the "FAQ" tab below to learn more about what qualifies as a Denver Days Event, and how to register your picnic and/or block party.
