From July 31–August 9, 2026, neighbors across the city will come together for two full weekends of block parties, park picnics, and community celebrations. It’s the perfect chance to meet new neighbors, reconnect with old friends, and celebrate what makes your neighborhood special.
Thank you for your interest in hosting a Denver Days Gathering! Due to the overwhelming response from our community, we have reached the maximum capacity of permitted Gatherings for this year's Denver Days and are no longer accepting applications.
We invite you to join us as we close out Denver Days at the Denver Days Back to School Fest on Saturday, August 8, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Westwood Community Center. Whether you attend with your family or volunteer through the Give5 Mile High initiative, we'd love to celebrate with you!
Thank you for your enthusiasm for bringing neighbors together!
