Denver Days - Creating Healthy Communities

Creating community through neighborhood activities and volunteer projects.

Denver Mayor, Michael B. Hancock, is proud to launch the 2nd year of Denver Days. Denver Days is a citywide effort to help neighbors get to know each other and get involved with their communities. Strong communities are vital to a healthy Denver. Therefore, the city of Denver is waiving all permit fees for individuals, groups, organizations, etc. to host block parties, events, etc. Denver Days is a great way to encourage community involvement and general connectivity to your neighbors and to your community.

Denver Days is August 2nd through August 10th. It's too late to get in the game this year. However, below are some ideas to help you plan your event for next year. 

Throw a Block Party!

Prepare your block party with the help of our handy tool kit. It will give you tips on organizing, creating committees, managing budgets, creative activity ideas and more. You can also download and customize our full-color Denver Days flyer for your event.

Organize a Service Project

Service projects are a great way to help improve your neighborhood while at the same time building a sense of community. These ideas will help you get started today.

Host a Social Activity
