Denver Platoon

Event overview

Team, Get into the patriotic spirit a day early during the Independence Eve festivities on July 3. This free celebration features music, a light show, and fireworks set among the grand architecture of Civic Center Park, a historic 12-acre gathering space that serves as the civic and cultural heart of Denver. Colorado's own Chris Daniels and the Kings and the 101st Army Band from Buckley Air Force Base will perform patriotic and contemporary music. Bring your blankets and low rise chairs and be sure to arrive early to get a great spot on the lawn. Concessions are available onsite, but you can also bring a picnic (no glass containers) to enjoy while watching the show. The park is easily accessible by light rail and free 16th Street MallRide. It's the perfect way to kick off your celebrations in Fourth of July in Denver!

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
