| Whether it's 16th St. Mall, the Ballpark
neighborhood or the Plaza at Union Station, Denver's downtown is brimming with
events. Our monthly downtown Denver newsletter is designed to inform Mile High
City employees and families about the awesome events we host in our own front
yard in Civic Center Park, Skyline Park and across Downtown. And we'll have some
fun info on commercial film production in Denver
too! |

1 Priority

The City and County of Denver
Hosted a Free Safety Workshop for Special Events on February 7
On
February 7, the City and County of Denver hosted its first ever Special Events
Safety Workshop. The Denver Police Department, Denver Office of Emergency
Management, Denver Fire Department, Denver Health, Office of Special Events, the
Colorado Information Analysis Center, and representatives from Denver's
PrideFest Event teamed up to present a four hour information session on event
safety measures.
The
workshop was heavily attended and also filmed for those not able to attend. The
sessions which will air on Denver's Channel 8 can be viewed here and here.
The
Office of Special Events aims to ensure ALL events in Denver
are successful and fun but most importantly SAFE. The
safety of event goers and the organizers and volunteers producing them each year
is our top
priority.
