The sky will light up once again over downtown Denver on New Year’s Eve. Denver will launch two firework shows on Tuesday, December 31 in the heart of downtown. The free firework shows will begin at 9 p.m. and midnight to help ring in 2025.

This year the identical firework displays can best be viewed from the 16th Street Mall near the middle of downtown Denver. Fireworks will be launched from two rooftop locations, lasting about eight minutes.

The 110-foot digital Mile High Tree at Civic Center Park will also host a ball drop-style countdown at 9 P.M.. on December 31, before the first firework display. Admission for the ball drop is free. The final Mile High Drone show of the year will start at 5:30 P.M. on December 31 in downtown Denver.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
