Democrats have narrowed down their potential host cities for the 2028 presidential convention to Boston, Denver, and Philadelphia.

Denver, CO, August 20, 2026 —
The Democratic Party has identified three finalist cities in contention to host its 2028 presidential nominating convention: Boston, Denver, and Philadelphia.
These three cities have emerged as the leading candidates after an initial selection process. The party is expected to announce the final host city at a later date, following further evaluations and deliberations.
Each city brings distinct advantages and potential challenges. Boston, with its rich political history and significant infrastructure, offers a blend of tradition and modern facilities. Denver has previously hosted major political events and is known for its accessibility and vibrant atmosphere. Philadelphia, a cornerstone of American democracy, provides a historically significant backdrop and a large urban center with considerable logistical capabilities.
The selection process for a convention host city typically involves extensive review of venue availability, accommodation capacity, transportation logistics, security considerations, and financial proposals from each potential host city. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) will be evaluating these factors as they move toward a final decision.
The 2028 convention will be a pivotal event, serving as the official launch of the party’s nominee for the presidential election and a crucial platform for unifying the party and outlining its platform for the upcoming election cycle.
Further details regarding the timeline for the final selection and the criteria for the decision have not yet been released.
