Most of Denver was out of the office on June 15 to celebrate the Denver Nuggets’ first National Basketball Association championship. Fans flooded the city to watch the celebratory parade, where fire trucks full of players greeted the crowd and drank plenty of beer.
The parade traveled from Union Station to Civic Center Park, where GRiZ and Big Gigantic performed beforehand to hype up the crowd. The City and County of Denver estimated that 750,000 people showed up to celebrate the big win. Last year’s Avalanche championship parade saw around 500,000 people.
The Nuggets parade began at Union Station and traveled to Civic Center Park, where fans enjoyed music from GRiZ and Big Gigantic.
