On Dec. 18, 2025, the City Cast Denver team hosted the first-ever Denver-est Denver Awards Show! We came together with nearly 300 of our most loyal listeners, readers, and supporters to celebrate the season and our favorite people, places, and moments of 2025. It was an evening of glitz, glam, holiday frivolity, and Mile High spirit ✨ 🥂

Pictured above on the official City Cast Denver "Green Carpet" is yours truly 🙋🏻‍♀️ (far right) with CCD host Bree Davies and Senior Account Executive Maggie Azzolini.
