Photos of the annual Champagne Cascade event at The Brown Palace in Denver, now in its 36th year.

On November 10, 2024, the elegant lobby of The Brown Palace in Denver was abuzz with excitement as it hosted its highly-anticipated 36th annual Champagne Cascade. The highlight of the event was a master swordsman, displaying his impressive skills by using a Napoleonic saber to expertly sever the bottlenecks of four magnums of Moet & Chandon. The golden liquid was then poured into the top glass of a magnificent two-story pyramid, consisting of a staggering 5,201 glasses. As the champagne overflowed, it created a dazzling display that left the audience in awe.

But this year's Champagne Cascade had something special in store for its guests. In addition to the usual spectacle, members of the audience were given the opportunity to take part in an auction to be chosen as the ones who would pour the champagne into the glasses. The bids were generous, with two lucky individuals offering a total of $29,000, all of which would be donated to St. Joseph's Hospital. This annual event serves as a fundraiser for Intermountain Health Saint Joseph Hospital, a non-profit hospital that has been providing exceptional care to its community for over a century and a half. From pioneering medical breakthroughs to offering compassionate and high-quality services, Saint Joe's has touched countless lives and continues to do so.

The Champagne Cascade was attended by hundreds of guests, all of whom had the opportunity to witness the festivities from the hotel's multiple floors. Not only did they get to enjoy the impressive display, but they also had the chance to bask in the spectacular seasonal decorations that adorned the lobby. The grand event marked the official unveiling of the hotel's holiday decor, which had been meticulously prepared by a team of twenty individuals. This included a massive 25x25-foot chandelier, adorned with 250,000 sparkling crystal beads, over 60,000 LED lights, 500 pounds of glitter, and 4,800 ornaments.

It's events like these that make The Brown Palace a beloved and iconic landmark in Colorado.
