Civic Center Park hosts a variety of festivals and outdoor events during the spring and summer months. This is a photo taken from the 2011 Denver Pridefest parade. This is a two day event produced by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of Colorado (The Center) and takes place annually in June in Civic Center Park. It features the PrideFest Parade, a Dance Stage with DJs, a Country Stage with line-dancing lessons, a Latin Stage with cultural programming, and a Main Stage with live entertainment. The festival also features more than 250 vendor booths with arts, crafts, food and more. A VIP area is also provided with food and drinks for sponsors and contributors to enjoy, and there's also a family area, youth alley, and a transgender resource area. The LGBT community definitely knows how to have fun and accomplish their mission to promote the heritage and culture of the LGBT and allied community in Colorado. Denver PrideFest is now the fourth largest pride festival, and seventh largest pride parade in the United States. #CapitolHill #GoldenTriangle #Uptown

Civic Center Park hosts a variety of festivals and outdoor events during the spring and summer months. This is a photo from the 2011 Moonlight Classic. For those who have not been out to experience this one (as a rider or a bystander,) it is quite a sight & definitely something to check out! The event is typically held in July and is a 10-mile non-competitive late night bicycle ride that runs from around 8pm till about 2am. With the support of the City of Denver and the Denver Police Department, the course is closed to automobile traffic allowing participants to ride safely on city streets. It begins and ends at the Colorado State Capitol, taking cyclists through Denver’s historic neighborhoods, including the business district, Lower Downtown, Congress Park, and the Cherry Creek shopping district! Participants are benefitting the InnovAge Foundation to help increase awareness and support of programs that allow aging individuals to live independently and with dignity in their own homes and communities. #CapitolHill #GoldenTriangle #Uptown #LoDo #BakerNeighborhood #LincolnPark
