Denver
will offer the largest and most fun collection of Memorial Day events
in memory with a wide assortment of happenings ranging from rock
concerts to art festivals, from baseball to Batman. “The scheduling
this year has created a ‘perfect storm’ of events, so in downtown we
will have Denver Day of Rock with 25 bands, thousands of people in
costumes for Denver Comic Con, a Rockies home stand and two art
festivals, all at the same time,” said Richard Scharf, president of
VISIT DENVER, the Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Many
of the events are free. “Downtown will be packed with food trucks, free
music, art displays, and very colorful crowds, all blending with the
normal offerings of museums, 70 outdoor cafes and rooftop bars,
breweries, shops and professional sports,” Scharf said. He noted that
there are a myriad of other activities happening all over the city this
weekend.
