On Saturday, August 1st, Longer Tables is taking over the National Western Center to celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday the best way we know how: by breaking bread with thousands of our neighbors and fostering connection. We’re talking a massive, mile-long table filled with good food (Wrangler’s BBQ!), great music, art, and plenty of storytelling.

The goal is simple: to bring people from every single walk of life together to share a meal, turn strangers into neighbors, and remind everyone in Denver that they belong. But setting a table this big isn’t a one-person job. We need an incredible (and large!) crew of volunteers to help us bring this giant block party to life. If you love people, love food, or just want to be part of something genuinely historic in our city, we have a spot for you!

We have a variety of volunteer options!
