Upcoming Events
Harvest Moon Party
We’re over the moon about the response to the reopened World’s Wonder View Tower, and will celebrate on the last day of the first season, when we’ll gather at the top of the Tower to watch the Harvest Moon rise. Tickets are $20. (The Tower will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day before closing for the party; regular prices will apply.)
Artist Reception
Come celebrate the Towering achievements of five artists! Deborah Jang, Mark Friday, Phil Bender and Lonnie Hanzon have all created incredible installations on four floors of the Tower. Their work joins Bill Nelson’s mysterious jackelope in the museum/shop. Admission will be free for art fans during the reception, which runs from 3 to 5 p.m. September 19.
Fundraiser Celebrating Patty Calhoun and the Tower
Please join us at Ace Eat Serve in Denver on Monday, July 20, from 6-8pm as we pay tribute to Denver icon Patty Calhoun and raise a few bucks for the World’s Wonder View Tower.
For a $75 pre-paid donation (or via QR code below), guests will receive two drink tickets and delicious food from nine of Denver’s finest chefs and restaurants. All party-goers are encouraged to wear bolos, boots, snap fronts or flip flops in Patty’s honor.
If we can answer any questions, just holler. We expect this party to sell out so we encourage y'all to act fast and snag tickets quickly. If you have folks keen on celebrating, please let us know at info@worldswonderviewtower.org (instead of forwarding the invite).
All proceeds benefit the World’s Wonder View Tower!
