Music. People. Energy.

Inspired by Denver's vibrant music community, 16 LIVE brings together iconic Colorado DJs, artists, and dancers to celebrate and amplify Denver's creative culture. Each "Live" night is themed around a friendly DJ Battle.

This six-date series on Glenarm Plaza at 16th St. will feature high-energy DJ performances, community dance instruction, silent disco dance battles, and crowd-driven competitions - all under the "Quaking Gold" Skynet art installation.

This is your chance to get together, get downtown, and get moving. Don't miss it!
