New Year's Eve Fireworks Downtown Denver

Ring in the new year in downtown Denver with two free fireworks shows launched over 16th Street. The first display lights up the sky around 9 p.m., a family-friendly early show timed for kids and those who don't want to stay out late, and the second bursts overhead at the stroke of midnight. The downtown corridor fills with a festive crowd, and nearby restaurants and bars make an easy night out around the shows. Both fireworks displays are completely free to watch from the street. Dress warmly for the cold December night, and take RTD light rail or rideshare, since downtown parking and traffic are heavy on New Year's Eve.
