History

Originally named Festival of Mountain and Plain and established in 1895 as a carnival similar to New Orleans’ Mardi Gras, the Festival was created to boost the city’s morale and vitality following the silver panic. The event, unsuccessful in ending Denver’s depression and declining in attendance, folded in 1902 when organizers were unable to obtain financial support. In 1983, the Downtown Denver Partnership decided to bring back the spirit of the original Festival to commemorate the opening of the 16th Street Mall. The following year, A Taste of Colorado was added to the Festival of Mountain and Plain name and concept and moved back to Civic Center Park in Downtown Denver, where the event first began.

More than 50 of Coloradoans’ favorite restaurants and food establishments will gather at the Festival, featuring small portions to full meals. Bold indicates food items that are available in a one, two, three, or four ticket “taste” portion during this annual event.

PIER Verifica Outreach ColombiaVERIFICA

Verifica is a community-based program proven to stop human traffickers by creating awareness and recognition of tactics sex-trade recruiters use to lure, exploit, and ultimately kidnap teenagers in marginalized communities.

Traffickers prey on innocent teenagers from vulnerable communities.

They often pose as recruiters with promises of employment in distant cities and then sell their victims into slavery in the sex-trade or forced labor.

By combining awareness with special tactics, Verifica exposes traffickers before they can exploit the innocent without risk to the targeted teams or the community.
 
Verifica is designed primarily for international communities as its systems counter the specific methods used by traffickers outside the United States, by targeting the ‘supply’ side of the sex-trade from and economic viewpoint. 

Once implemented, there is no cost to sustain the program and Verifica is 100% administered and maintained by the communities it serves.

Tomorrow we are rising for Revolution at One Billion Rising 2015

1br_rev_landscape_stack_w.date_black(2)Saturday February 14th
“One Billion Rising” 2015
12:00-3:00pm
Flash Mob & Rally
Downtown at the Denver Capitol

 

One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women in human history. The campaign, launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. On 14 February 2013 and 2014 people across the world came together to express their outrage, strike, dance, and RISE in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end at last to violence against women.

Events took place in 200 countries, where women, men, and youth came together to Rise, Release, and Dance outside of court houses, police stations, government offices, school administration buildings, work places, sites of environmental injustice, military courts, embassies, places of worship, homes, or simply public gathering places where women deserve to feel safe but too often do not. The campaign was covered widely by media in all corners of world including The New York Times, The Guardian, NPR, and many more.

Following up on the last 2 years of our involvement, Bella Diva Dance will once again be RISING in our community and are helping coordinate the city-wide event on Feb. 14th, 12:00-3:00 pm downtown, where we will have a sponsor table set up at the capitol for the rally.

We gave 2 special classes this week to teach the powerful & simple, global choreography “Break the Chain” created by renowned choreographer Debbie Allen. At the end of both classes recorded us dancing “Break the Chain” together and today we’ll be posting it to the international One Billion Rising site and the Bella Diva Dance website!

AND! Students who came to learn the dance during class will have the opportunity to perform during the opening number at our “One Billion Rising” show at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret Wed. March 18th as we raise money for Verifika, a Colorado non-profit that works to eradicate exploitation of women & children involved in human-trafficking in marginalized communities.

This year in 2015, we are rising for Revolution.

We invite you to join us!
