Sampling and Special Events

The BID offers the use of the 16th Street Mall for sampling and special events. Fees for both include any preparation costs, and a daily permit fee. Locations for sampling and special events are assigned on a case-by-case basis taking into account smooth pedestrian flow and the operation of the transit lane. Samplers and special event groups have a specific set of rules and regulations determined by the BID and the City & County of Denver that they must follow in order to use the Mall for their events.
