4th of July Celebrations In Denver
Jun 30th, 2008 by Steve Scheer
June is almost over and 4th of July is this week! I can't believe it actually, the summer is flying by.
Last year for the 4th, we were actually not in town at all, but rather on vacation. So I am pretty glad to stay-put this year and be home for the celebrations. The kids are too. I think our plans will be to hang out at home during the day and then head over to the celebration in Highlands Ranch at Town Center in the evening. There is a ton to do there, and the kids love to just run around and see their friends as these types of events. Laura is thinking that on the 3rd we may head to downtown Denver and try to get a seat on an outdoor patio or maybe even a rooftop one near Coors Field to see the fireworks there as well after the game.
So those are our temporary plans. If you have recently moved to Denver - you are in for a treat as Denver has MANY 4th of July Fireworks celebrations. And I know that there are folks in town for the weekend that are planning to move to Denver, as I am working with 2 families that fit this bill - you will have a great time here this weekend as well. Here are just some of the events that I think are top-notch. All are on July 4th, unless I have noted.
