Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
While many of the people who grabbed headlines in 2020 were prominent players whose faces were already known, others emerged on the scene last year who were definitely worth watching. At least virtually.
These are the people who will help determine much of what Denver looks like when we finally leave our homes and venture back out into the city, the people who kept us safe, kept us fed, kept us entertained, kept us high...and even gave us reason to cheer as we headed into the new year.
While Colorado also has plenty of people to watch out for, there are many more to celebrate in the new year.
Here's where to find some of our people to watch in 2021:
"Nine People to Watch in Denver's Culture Scene in 2021"
"Four People to Watch in Denver's Culinary Scene in 2021"
"Six People to Watch in Denver's Marijuana Scene in 2021"
"Two City Councilmembers to watch — in Denver and Aurora — in 2021"
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.
