Event FAQs:

After you register, all you need to do is show up and check in at the start of the event. When you check in, we will give you a ticket that allows you to get into the main performance hall. This is the only place you will need a ticket. After the main program, you will be able to explore the rest of the venue without a ticket.

We wanted to make the 50 year celebration a special one! The evening will begin with a 45 minute program at 6 p.m., featuring videos, a living timeline, a special performance, community and NoCo Foundation highlights, an invitation to help us shape the future of Northern Colorado, and THE Kyle Clark emceeing.

After the program, you will be able to walk through the Lincoln Center, exploring different “experiences” we have planned for the evening. This will include speeches, a walkable timeline, a chance to take the NoCo Pledge, time to network and mingle, and more!

NOTE: While there will be seating options available throughout the Lincoln Center during the entire event, guests and sponsors will not have an assigned table, this is not a seated event.
