Taste of Colorado Will Return to Civic Center Park

After being canceled in 2020 and moving to a new format in 2021 that saw events scattered throughout downtown, Taste of Colorado will return to Civic Center Park for its 2022 edition — although that wasn’t the original plan.

A Denver Labor Day weekend tradition, this year’s festival was set to take place September 3-5 on the 16th Street Mall. As of August 1, that venue was still listed on both the Downtown Denver Partnership’s website as well as the event’s website. But the Taste is definitely moving.

“Unfortunately, due to the 16th St. Mall construction, Taste of Colorado will be held at Civic Center Park,” says Tyree Johnson, office coordinator for the Downtown Denver Partnership.

The move may not be all that unfortunate, though, as it means that the festival can return to the site…
