If you are planning to watch Denver’s New Year’s Eve fireworks, the 16th Street Mall offers the best views of the two free shows at 9 PM and Midnight. Both shows run for approximately eight minutes.
Alternatively, consider checking out the rooftop bars for elevated perspectives, but be sure to purchase tickets or make reservations in advance.
We recommend arriving early to secure a good viewing spot.
Prime Viewing Locations:
This mile-long pedestrian corridor is considered the prime, free viewing spot. DJs will play music between the shows, creating a lively atmosphere. RTD offers free rides from 7 p.m. on Dec. 31 to 7 a.m. on Jan. 1 for safe travel.
