New Year's Eve 2011: Fireworks over Downtown Denver!

The sky will once again sparkle over the 16th Street Mall at the close of 2010 with Downtown's New Year’s Eve Fireworks.  The two spectacular fireworks shows will occur at 9 p.m. and midnight. For the best viewpoints, stand along the 16th Street Mall.

Costumed entertainers will interact with crowds between shows, including magicians, mascots, balloon artists, stilt walkers, comedians and more.

Everyone rides free on Denver's public transportation from 7 p.m. on New Year's Eve to 6 a.m. on New Year's Day. Get more info at www.rtd-denver.com.

Please note, between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m., RTD Light Rail trains will not cross the 16th Street Mall and mall ride shuttles will stop temporarily during the two fireworks shows.

Be safe! If you are celebrating with alcohol this holiday season, plan ahead before you party.  Park your car in an overnight lot, take a cab or public transportation or designate a sober driver before anyone takes a sip.
