Fourth Friday - Olde Town Arvada - Supporting GGDEN2030

FREE EVENT -- Join us Friday, September 26th from 5-10pm in Olde Town Arvada. Arvada is a critical partner of our bid for the 2030 Games, and we are thrilled at the opportunity to showcase our bid at their premier summertime event.

In addition to experiencing the best of Olde Town Arvada – from local art, tasty bites, and local brews – the event will feature a live performance by the rock band Dear Marsha, a fixture of the Denver music scene, during which they will debut an original song written in support of our bid.

Local businesses will be donating a portion of their sales during the event to Denver’s bid, so come, shop, enjoy, and help us finish strong as we look to bring the 2030 Gay Games to Colorado!

Denver is only a finalist city because of the incredible support from our community; we look forward to celebrating the progress we’ve made towards winning the bid and continuing to build momentum ahead of our final step this fall with you later this month!

**This live event is being recorded for a music video—your good vibes may be captured on camera.
