This weekend has a shortage of Downtown street closures...and an abundance of Downtown fireworks. The only closings found by Denver by the Slice are around the Civic Center. Saturday, look for closures on 14th Street and Bannock for Saturday night's Independence Eve Concert with the CSO in the Greek Theater. Some marches, some anthems, some American classics and the obligatory 1812 Overture, still by Tchaikovsky. Followed by fireworks.
On Sunday afternoon, look for 14th to close at Stout for the Civic Center-based 30th National Veterans' Wheelchair Games Parade.
And, our beloved Rockies will fill the stands for the game, then the sky BOTH Friday and Saturday night after playing the Giants. Lots of good places to watch. And, the Rockies' fireworks look especially good reflecting off the downtown buildings. We're looking forward to see how they look bouncing off the new Xcel headquarters at 18th and Larimer. The closer you are, the louder they are!
There you are. Baseball, fireworks, 4th of July and the 1812 Overture. 'Bout as American as you can get!
