“We are incredibly optimistic,” Garrett added. “Recovery takes strong vision and leadership, and we see that leadership here in Denver as our community, our businesses and our partners at the city come together. … We know that there's no better way to bring our community together to re-energize downtown, and reinstill a collective love for downtown, than through music, through arts, culture and celebration.
Applicants don’t have to propose new concepts. “I think it could definitely be open to existing events,” Garrett told. “Let's say there's something taking place outside of the city center but they want to do an activation that helps promote their event in downtown.” “Events and activations should be innovative and inclusive and should take place in highly visible, publicly accessible areas in downtown outdoors and provide the public with free, unique and engaging experiences,” Garrett said at the press conference, noting that the focus is on fun.
