Democratic Party Selects Three Finalists for 2028 Convention Host City
The Democratic Party has narrowed down its potential host cities for the 2028 presidential convention to three locations: Boston, Denver, and Philadelphia.

Denver, CO, August 20, 2026 —
The Democratic Party has identified its final three candidate cities in contention to host the 2028 national convention. The shortlisted locations are Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The selection process involved reviewing proposals from numerous cities across the country. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has been evaluating factors such as venue capacity, hotel availability, transportation infrastructure, and the potential for a welcoming atmosphere for delegates and media.
Each of the three finalist cities brings distinct advantages. Boston, a city rich in American history and a hub for innovation, offers established convention facilities and a strong public transportation network. Denver, known for its accessibility and growing convention infrastructure, has previously hosted major national events. Philadelphia, another city with deep historical significance, provides a central East Coast location and a wealth of experience in hosting large-scale gatherings.
The DNC has not yet announced a specific timeline for making the final decision or the criteria that will ultimately determine the winning city. Further evaluations and site visits may be part of the ongoing process.
The selection of a host city is a significant undertaking, impacting local economies through tourism and providing a national stage for the party to formally nominate its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, as well as to galvanize support for the upcoming election.
