Denver PrideFest 2013: Pride Day at Elitch Gardens

By Drew Wilson

A longtime tradition, Pride Day at Elitch Gardens takes place this year on Monday, June 17.  I spoke with Jessie Falk, Communications and Interactive Marketing Manager for Elitch Gardens and got her to spill the tea on one of the highlights of Denver Pride.

Drew: In a nutshell, what is Pride Day at Elitch Gardens?
Jessie: Pride Day at Elitch Gardens shows support for the LGBT community, as well as The Center, each year by providing discount tickets to the park on the Monday following PrideFest. Elitch Gardens is the perfect place to come together and relax after a long weekend of celebration.

Each year we host a wide variety of organizations and events ranging from sports teams and charities to religious, political and non-profit groups. We think it’s important to be a part of the Denver community as a whole and that means supporting the groups, like the LGBT community, that make Denver such a great and inclusive city to live in. Elitch Gardens is hosting this event benefiting local organizations in partnership with the LGBT community. We will be donating a portion of ticket proceeds from the event to The Center: Advancing LGBT Colorado.

What rides and events are "must see" for Pride Day at Elitch's?

Being both a theme and water park, there are many options for fun at Elitch Gardens. Everyone has their own favorite ride, but Mind Eraser, Twister II, and the Water Park are some of the most popular attractions here at the park. Want to relive your best weekend moments? Be sure to check out the Observation Deck to point out all of the places you went to during PrideFest. Cirque Conjure is definitely a show you won’t want to miss! Third in a series of Cirque productions created exclusively for Elitch Gardens, Cirque Conjure features one-of-a-kind illusions and gut-busting comedy!

What special deals or discounts should the LGBT community be aware of for Pride Day?

Elitch Gardens is offering a special promotion to the LGBT community in honor of Pride Day for $15 off main gate admission. Visit elitchgardens.com and enter promo code “Pride” at checkout. Tickets are valid for Pride Day (Monday, June 17) only and must be purchased in advance. To celebrate your Pride in style, stop by John’s Haberdashery and get a free rainbow boa or chain link necklace with purchase of any hat! Elitch Gardens will also feature a signature drink for Pride Day only! Guests will also be able to enjoy the Electric Dragon, a tasty vodka cocktail, for just $5 as they celebrate Pride.

Presenting Your Denver Pride 2013 Playlist


By John Hill

While the purpose of Gay Pride festivals are to celebrate how far we’ve come and those who helped get us so far in the Gay Rights movement over the past 40+ years, you’ve GOT to have a solid musical playlist to go along with the festivities, right? Here are some recommendations to kick off your Denver Pride celebrations in style.

Fall Out Boy “My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light ‘Em Up)”
In a year full of comebacks, few have hit with the same impact as Fall Out Boy’s first single from their reunion record Save Rock and Roll. Bedsides being a guaranteed sing-along for their show at the 1stBank Center on September 18th, they get bonus points for including a dubstep-like breakdown on the chorus that doesn’t sound annoying.




Dominique Pruitt “To Win Your Love”
It’s tough to nail down a genre for Dominique. One minute she’s sounding like a 60s girl group version of Belinda Carlisle, the next she’s rolling over a Rockabilly beat. All I know is that “To Win Your Love” is a fun track that will sound perfect at your next pool party.




Sara Bareilles “Brave”
Sara is the girl every gay boy wants as a friend and a confidant (cue the Golden Girls). But seriously…”Brave” sums it all up with its advice to “say what you want to say/and let the words fall out.” Be honest, be upfront, and be yourself, and if they don’t like it, then you know what to say next.




Tamar Braxton “The One”
If you were in doubt about Tamar Braxton being a serious recording artist based on her antics on the reality show Braxton Family Values, she drops the perfect top-down R&B jam in “The One.” Bonus points for her trying to drop it like it’s hot while pregnant. You bettah get yo’ life!




Ciara “Body Party (Dave Aude Club Mix)”
After a few misfires (including the amazing “Got Me Good”), Ciara is back in a big way with “Body Party” from her upcoming self-titled fifth album. While the original is more of a slow jam for the bedroom, the Dave Aude remix is strictly for the clubs. Work that body out!




Robin Thicke featuring Pharell and T.I. “Blurred Lines”
“Everybody get up!” From the opening declaration to dance to the sample of Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up,” you need to check your pulse if this jam doesn’t get you grooving. Thicke has been working the blue-eyed soul angle for a while, but with this infectious jam he just picked up his first number one Pop record.




While his full-time job is in education, John Hill also writes a successful music blog titled Pop Music Notes. He is also active on Twitter @popmusicnotes and lives in Denver with his partners in crime James and Bruiser.
