If staying up until midnight proves challenging for you, then the city of Glenwood Springs\u2019 Grand New Year\u2019s celebration may be just the event for you.<\/p>\n

After all, the event will ring in 2020 slightly earlier than usual with a fireworks display beginning at 10 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to offer something for families,\u201d Pat Miller, Glenwood Springs recreation manager, said. \u201cHence the 10 o\u2019clock fireworks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crews will launch the 10- to 15-minute fireworks display from Two Rivers Park, which is currently closed for construction.<\/p>\n

The free and open to the public Grand New Year\u2019s Celebration itself, however, will take place on Seventh Street in downtown Glenwood Springs beginning at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll actually be the first ever major event we\u2019ve thrown on Seventh Street after the beautification process was completed,\u201d Miller said. \u201cIt\u2019s really exciting to host an event down there after many years of construction.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Miller, the city will close off Seventh Street to vehicles between Colorado Avenue and Cooper Avenue to facilitate the pedestrian-oriented event.<\/p>\n

In addition to fireworks, the New Year\u2019s Eve celebration will also feature live music with performances by: Ripe, Zach Deputy, and The Mixx.<\/p>\n

Billed as Colorado\u2019s \u201cultimate party band,\u201d The Mixx<\/a> will take the stage beginning at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

Spanning decades and genres, the five-piece cover band\u2019s setlist includes hits from the likes of Tom Petty to Maroon 5.<\/p>\n

Following The Mixx, Georgia-based singer\/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Zach Deputy will perform from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

On his album \u201cWash It in the Water\u201d Deputy incorporated elements of hip-hop, funk and folky pop according to http:\/\/www.zachdeputy.com<\/a>. Additionally, Deputy\u2019s song \u201cHome\u201d has already surpassed well over two million plays on Spotify.<\/p>\n

Despite the fireworks display ending a bit earlier, the celebration will continue until midnight with a performance from Ripe beginning at 10:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Formed in Boston, the seven-piece band fuses flavorful funk and anthemic rock into their high-energy, live shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to highlight not only what this amazing valley has to offer with The Mixx but also some incredible acts that are nationally touring,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n

The Grand New Year\u2019s celebration will offer beer sales with the proceeds going toward the Western Slope Veterans Coalition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to offer too many food vendors,\u201d Miller said. \u201cIf you did want a sit-down dinner or a larger meal we want to encourage people to utilize our restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Miller, the city hopes over 2,000 locals and tourists alike will attend its Grand New Year\u2019s celebration.<\/p>\n
