DENVER – June 2, 2023 – If you need some fresh air before or after your travels, head to Denver International Airport's (DEN) Park on the Plaza! The open-air plaza, located between the Jeppesen Terminal and the Westin Hotel, will once again become an outdoor oasis from May 27 through Oct. 2.

Visitors can enjoy sunshine and fresh air, play cornhole or relax on lounge seating and grass-like turf. Throughout the summer, passengers can kick up their feet and enjoy a variety of events. See a list of full events, including even more live music, going on at DEN at FlyDenver.com/events.

The Park on the Plaza is located before you hit the security line. It is just a few steps from the RTD A-Line and a short jaunt from the parking garage.

Denver International Airport is not only where Denver's official weather records are kept (for better or worse), but is a great place to enjoy some of the state's more spectacular weather events – from severe storms in the summer, to blizzards in the winter, to stunning sunsets over the Rockies – the airport has it all situated on the edge of the Great Plains and the Front Range of the mountains.

If you are headed out of town this summer, or perhaps visiting the Mile High City from abroad – stop by DEN's Park on the Plaza, snap us a photo of what weather you are seeing while there and leave in the comments below, or simply tag us (and @DENAirport!) on Twitter (@weather5280) with the hashtag #cowx.
