The Mile High City is home to more than 2 million Denverites representing hundreds of countries and cultures from around the world. The Denver International Festival is a celebration of the best traditional food, music and art from our own backyard. Come dance, eat, drink and play in the heart of Denver at Civic Center Park.
Join us for the first annual Denver International Festival on Saturday, July 23^rd from 10am – 8pm. This FREE community event will feature 30+ restaurants and food trucks, vendors, beer garden, live music and dance performances, DJs and live interactive art. This family friendly festival will also feature cultural displays, games, health and wellness activities, and a kid’s village.
The Denver International Festival will not only be the city's largest celebration of global art, music and food but is also giving back to less fortunate communities in our own back yard and around the world. Our annual benefit concert during the festival will raise money and awareness for a different non-profit organization each year.
This year we have partnered with PROJECT ANGEL HEART who delivers nutritious meals at no cost, to improve quality of life for those coping with life-threatening illness. To learn more about Project Angel Heart click here
