GETTING DOWNTOWN
HOW TO GET TO 16TH STREET SUMMER KICKOFF
No matter where you're coming from in the city, getting to the 16th Street Summer Kickoff is easy! 

Plan ahead to skip the traffic and stress! With the Rockies 5K and Outside Festival happening the same weekend, downtown will be buzzing. To avoid congestion and parking headaches, we recommend taking public transit, biking, hopping on a Bird or Lime scooter, or carpooling with friends. 
PLANNING YOUR TRIP

Public Transportation | RTD Bus & Rail​

Transit: With stops located throughout downtown, including Union Station, Theater District/Convention Center, and Civic Center, bus and rail make it easy to get right to the heart of the Block Party – no parking hassles needed!

​

MallRide: Due to event street closures, the 16th Street MallRide will be temporarily diverted to 15th and 17th Streets.

​

Plan Your Trip: Use the RTD Trip Planner for personalized routes and schedules.​​​​​

Biking

Bike Lanes & Trails: Denver offers an extensive network of bike lanes and trails. To plan your ride, refer to the Denver Bike Map or Bike Street’s Low-Stress Bike Map.
