As part of the Partnership’s Winter in the City program, the two spectacular fireworks shows will occur at 9 p.m. and Midnight, taking place simultaneously at two undisclosed sites along the 16th Street Mall. It is recommended that viewers stand along the 16th Street Mall for optimal viewing.
New to the festivities will be six live DJs performing along the 16th Street Mall. Each will play Top 40 music from 8pm to midnight, and will do a live countdown at the 9pm fireworks show.
The music and fun will also continue at the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park, where Denver's popular DJ Chonz will perform live at the rink from 7:30pm to 10:30pm. The rink will open at 10am on New Year's Eve and remain open until 11:00pm. It will reopen on New Year's Day at 10am. For more information, please visit www.SouthwestRink.com.
Additional activities in Skyline Park will include the Allstate Insurance's "Designated Texter" display, designed to educate the community on the dangers of texting and driving through activities. This is one of ten rallies taking place across the country. Participants will have a chance to win two tickets to the Jordin Spark's Superbowl Party in February.
You can view the fireworks anywhere along the 16th Street Mall.
