 Denver Day of
Rock
May 26, 2:30-9:30 PM
There are so many things to love about Denver, not the
least of which are all the amazing music festivals and concerts that
are scheduled for this summer!
Kicking off a season of great music events, is the
annual Denver Day of Rock festival which will feature FIVE stages of
live music along the 16th Street Mall on May 26. The event is free to
attend and benefits Amp the Cause, a local Denver non-profit. Learn
more about Amp the Cause here.
Fun fact, Mayor Michael B. Hancok's wife will be
performing at 3:50 pm on the Curtis Street Stage with her band, the
Mary Louise Lee Band! Additional information about the event and the
lineup of music can be found here.

Film Industry Hits the Streets

 Did you know,
that each year the Denver Office of Special Events issues
approximately 300 Filming Permits?? Well we do, and many of them are
automotive commercials! In fact, in March both Ford and GMC
held commercial shoots on Denver's streets, and in April, Kia filmed
here. So who says Detroit is the motor city!?
