Fireworks launch simultaneously from two separate rooftops, creating one ultimate celebration, which happens twice. Come early for the 9 o’clock fireworks, then dance to live DJs until the clock strikes midnight, at which point the sky lights up again.

If you can’t make the show but are in Denver, try to gain a little elevation and enjoy the show from afar, as it radiates down the Front Range. Or tune in to your local news to watch the action. Have a happy New Year 2023!
