NEW YEARS EVE
A great time for fireworks and drone shows celebrating the new year to come. Fireworks over Downtown Denver are best watched on the 16th Street Mall at 9 p.m. and midnight. A 20-year tradition with street entertainers. Watch the ball drop countdown in the Mile High Tree in Civic Center Park, also 9 p.m. and midnight. If you can see Pikes Peak, the AdAmAn mountain climbers will set off fireworks at 9 p.m. but the big show is at midnight from the summit. It’s all about the Avalanche for the Mile High Drone Show covering the sky at 5:30 p.m. before Tuesday’s game at Ball Arena.
