CU Denver Block Party
The CU Denver Block Party is a free and public annual back-to-school event connecting the campus community with city partners. This year’s event will be held on August 22, 2024 from 12 p.m.-3 p.m. on Lawrence Street between Speer Blvd. and 14th St., in what is referred to as the university’s “Education Corridor”.
Now entering its 12th year, and anticipating more than 3,500 participants, the CU Denver Block Party has rapidly become a must-attend event for anyone who lives, works or studies downtown. The Block Party showcases the endless opportunities that CU Denver has to offer in business, arts and media, public affairs, architecture, and education. These Denver food trucks will be serving up delicious options for lunch: Ba-Nom-A-Nom, Big Belly Brothers BBQ, Mama Kabob, Mukja, Tacos with Altitude, and 47 Bakery. CU Denver alumnus Mario “DJ Chonz” Rodriguez will be our featured entertainment for the event.
CU Denver benefits from strong partnerships with local businesses and allows us to continue to offer this free, high-quality event to the public. Sponsorship provides the opportunity to not only promote your business, but also truly support an excellent community event and CU Denver. If you are interested in being a sponsor, please email Events@ucdenver.edu.
