The Brown Palace’s 30th Annual Champagne Cascade Event Benefits Season To Share

/in /by
The 30th Annual Champagne Cascade event took place on Sunday, November 19 in front of a sold out VIP crowd and enthusiastic onlookers. With both The Brown Palace and The Denver Post celebrating their 125th year in business, this year’s event had quite a bit of history under one roof. This holiday tradition will make a lasting impact on our Denver  community, with a donation in the amount of $31,750 to The Denver Post Season To Share presented by DaVita. Guests of the event were treated to a “pop up” museum full of 125 years of history between The Brown and The Post. For more photos of this spectacular event, click here. We are honored and humbled by the support of this year’s Champagne Cascade event at The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa.
