People attending the event will be asked to bring cans of non-perishable food that will directly benefit Food Bank of the Rockies (FBR). During the event, there will be several bins at various locations along the 16th Street Mall where people can drop off cans of food. All food donated that day will go directly to FBR to help the Denver community fight hunger.
Denver Day of Rock made its debut on June 6, 2009. The event had two stages of music, one in the Cherry Creek neighborhood and one in Downtown Denver's Theatre District. The event was concluded that evening with a ticketed event at the Fillmore Auditorium. Alternative rock/hip hop band the Flobots performed for a crowd of more than 1,500 sponsors and patrons and helped raise money for and raise awareness of children’s charities throughout Metro Denver.
In its second year, Denver Day of Rock grew considerably. The event featured 20 bands on four stages up and down the 16th Street Mall and drew more than 100,000 people, which was ten times above the expected attendance. The event included local acts such as Jason Vigil, The Epilogues and P-Nuckle as well as national acts like Five For Fighting, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Fishbone and more.
