The Mile High City To Send Out 2013 With A Bang!

When you have 26 breweries in your downtown, one free New Year’s Eve party is not going to be enough. So, The Mile High City throws two. Denver’s 16th Street Mall will be lined with tens of thousands of people that will be ready and waiting for the fireworks display.

There is one at 9 p.m. and another at midnight. This year’s show is even bigger and brighter than ever with a grand finale that will include more than 125 “thunderous salutes,” and DJ’s spinning music along the street.
