Win tickets to the After Party on the Bridge in Riverfront Park!

Party! Party! On Thursday, September 12, many of the town's movers and shakers will gather on the 19th Street Bridge in Riverfront Park for the Greenway Foundation's annual Gala on the Bridge. But that's just the start of the fun. From 6 to 10 p.m. on Friday, September 13, the inaugural After Party on the Bridge in Riverfront Park will celebrate the river that runs through town with a party that includes street food, cocktails and a concert, with special performances by Born in the Flood (with Nathaniel Rateliff) and FLASH/LIGHTS, along with DJ Chuck Lepley and Wonderbound.

Tickets are $75 and support the Greenway Foundation -- but we're giving away a pair to the After Party right here. To enter, all you have to do is post a comment below on why you love the South Platte by midnight tonight; we'll pick a winner tomorrow morning.

And whoever snags these tickets won't be the only winner Friday night. At the After Party, awards will also be given in the following categories:
