Event Details
Location
Important Location Update for 2025: Due to the restoration of the historic 19th Street Bridge, Gala on the Bridge will be held in the middle of Commons Park, along the South Platte River. The entrance to the event will be here. The easiest way to find the entrance will be to enter Commons Park at the intersection of Platte Street and 16th Street, then walk east across the Highland Bridge.
Parking & Ride Share Services
Parking near Commons Park is extremely limited. We highly recommend using a ride share service to get to the event. You can use Emage, 1620 Platte St, Denver, CO 80202 as your drop off location then head east over the river to the entrance to the event. If you plan to drive, paid parking is available at REI and select areas along Platte Street.
Attire
Denver Formal: Think fun, festive cocktail attire. It’s a gala after all, so this is a chance to dress up and break out something special. This is an outdoor event and requires walking on grass.
Award-Winning Chef
Enjoy food from local, award winning chef, Paul Riley. Best known for his cuisine at Coperta, the former Beast + Bottle, Pizzeria Coperta, and Apple Blossom, Chef Riley brings bold flavors and seasonal ingredients to every dish he creates.
