Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Denver got lit on Friday, November 25, when the Grand Illumination flipped the switch on holiday decor downtown, where lights glowed from the Denver City and County Building to Union Station and all along the 16th Street Mall. The lights will stay on through the holidays (they looked great on TV during the Broncos game — until the Chiefs pulled the plug) and, in the case of the City and County Building, through the National Western Stock Show. Welcome to Denver!
Brandon Marshall was there when the city flipped the switch. Keep reading for more photos.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
