Climate

The city of Denver is one mile high, or 5,280 feet. Denver experiences a semi-arid climate with 15.81 in (402mm) of precipitation per year, and due to the high altitude, days are typically warm and nights cool. Drink lots of fluids to keep yourself hydrated and to help with your adjustment to the one mile high altitude.

Parking

SUBJECT TO CHANGE - The Newman Center for the Performing Arts has an attached parking garage, and permits will be available at the registration table for a price of $6, cash only. If you need a parking pass for more than one day, please purchase all days together. With this permit, you will be able to enter and exit the parking structure all day long. There is also reasonable availability of on-street parking.
