Historic Denver Awards

50th Anniversary Retrospective Celebration

A virtual event and so much more!

Join us September 23rd, 2020! From 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM.

As Historic Denver embarks on our 50th year as an advocate and steward of beloved and historic places in our city, we’re looking back at the impact our organization has had on Denver, and the preservation of the places we all love. This is an opportunity to celebrate and to thank the many hard–working community members, property owners and civic leaders that have made historic places a part of our community for five decades.

In honor of this auspicious anniversary, and in full recognition of public health recommendations, this year’s celebration will take place in small group “watch parties” at historic sites and homes across the city, with a full virtual program including:

Local entertainment from The Lumineers’ Wesley Schultz and Cleo Parker Robinson Dance – also celebrating their 50th Anniversary!
The release of a short-film highlighting the community’s favorite preservation projects of all time
A live online auction featuring intimate experiences in historic places.

There are three exciting ways to participate in the 50th Annual Awards Retrospective:

Become a Sponsor

Event sponsors can select from a menu of levels and receive premier recognition during the event and as part of the retrospective film. Sponsors can also elect to host a watch-party at the venue of their choice or invite ten guests to participate virtually. With opportunities including a catered dinner at the highest levels, to a cocktail party, these watch parties will give our community the chance to connect and mingle as is the grand tradition of our Annual event. Historic Denver will provide a range of special event supplies at each sponsorship level. Sponsorship has long been the hallmark of the annual program, and a chance for businesses to demonstrate their passion and commitment to the places that make Denver Denver.

Pay for a Sponsorship
