Denver has been named one of the top three finalists in contention to host the Democratic Party’s 2028 national convention.

The DNC has not yet released the names of the other two finalist cities or a specific timeline for the final decision beyond stating it will be in the coming months.
The potential for Denver to host the 2028 convention marks a significant moment for the city’s bid and its ability to accommodate large-scale national events. Further details regarding the specific requirements and the next steps in the selection process are expected to be announced by the DNC as deliberations continue.
