New for 2022: The Civic Center Conservancy is introducing EATS for ALL an initiative in partnership with Barefoot PR aimed at removing cost barriers for the event. To use the program, guests simply scan a QR code at the Civic Center Conservancy table located in the center of the park and pay what they can (via mobile or with cash) in exchange for a token that can be used at the food truck of their choice. There will also be a QR code to make donations to the fund. The Civic Center Conservancy has also waived fees for several of this year's BIPOC-owned businesses: MAIZ Denver, Las Cazuelas de Fer and Sweet Action Ice Cream.
