US OpenAir today announced that it was scuttling plans to show movies in Denver’s City Park, saying the fee-based event could not attract sufficient sponsors.
The decision is a blow to efforts by Denver officials to activate parks by charging admission for certain events, a proposal that has drawn the ire of some key neighborhood activists.
“In the current economic climate we have been unable to find a corporate partner to be the title sponsor of this new event,” said Julie Frahm, managing director of US OpenAir, the Massachusetts firm, in a press release today.
In January, the City Council approved a three-year contract with OpenAir. The firm is terminating the remainder of that contract.
