The Final "Meet In The Street" Of The Year

This year, now that Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted (at least for now) in Colorado, the City of Denver has been trying to lure people back downtown with a festival on assorted weekends called Meet in the Street, the last of which took place this past weekend. It featured artificial turf set up with chairs on the 16th Street Mall (as seen in the above photograph), assorted bands playing up and down the street, and various games, such as bean bag and what looked like throwing soccer balls into trash cans. I have biked past these festivals several times now, but nothing seemed very interesting to me. I suggest that if the city really wants to attract people back downtown, they should offer free beer. That should bring back the crowds. Including me!
