The annual three-day celebration of music features hundreds of bands across multiple venues. For more information please visit undergroundmusicshowcase.com. WHO: Founded in 2001, the UMS is an annual multi-day, music-themed neighborhood takeover featuring hundreds of bands across multiple outdoor stages and venues.

WHEN: July 27 - 29, 2018 WHERE: Denver’s Baker / South Broadway neighborhood - from 6th and Broadway all the way down to Alameda and Broadway. WHY: UMS is a three-day discovery festival made up of incredibly talented bands from the Denver metro area, and beyond. More than just a music festival, UMS attendees can expect an elevated food and beverage program, plenty of live entertainment (including comedy acts and podcast recordings), and, of course, the best live music the city has to offer.
FESTIVAL OVERVIEW (CONT.) UMS provides Denverites with the opportunity to discover new musical acts simply by walking down the street. South Broadway is lined with unique restaurants, bars, and shops offering attendees the opportunity to stumble upon new local favorites. All of this makes for an ideal summer weekend spent taking in live acts, eating and drinking, and exploring on one of Denver’s most iconic strips. Two Parts purchased UMS from The Denver Post Community Foundation in January 2018. Since taking over the festival, Two Parts has been working collaboratively with the City of Denver and talent agents to continue building on the success of the past 17 years.

Below are the new Denver City and County Rules.

Watch speeds and yield to pedestrians at all times. Where not to ride e-scooters, per the law Streets Striped, protected or otherwise designated bike lanes Parks and trails 16th Street Mall How to park dockless bikes and scooters • Do not block the movements of pedestrians and always provide 5’ clear width • Park against buildings (not impeding pedestrian access) or at least 1.5’ from the back of curb/flowline • Preserve pedestrian sight triangles at intersections, alleys, and driveways as well as to bus/light rail operations at stops • Vehicles should be upright when parked •
WATER PLAN UMS wants our attendees to have fun, and we acknowledge that drinking responsibly is a part of having fun. That is why we have included it in our Harm Reduction Plan. In addition to having TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures) trained bartenders, we have a robust water plan that ensures our attendees can hydrate in the hot July sun. We’ve partnered with Water U Drinking? to provide water tankers at each outdoor stage. These water tankers go through a filtration process to purify the water, and equals out to the equivalent of 5000 plastic water bottles. We’ll also have UMS branded water bottles for sale at the Goodwill Merchandise tent throughout the weekend. Make sure to drink water in style.
TIPS TRAINING REMINDERS/BASIC BEER SERVER INFORMATION - As servers of alcohol, your job is to provide enjoyment for Festival attendees as well as ensure a safe environment at the event. The following information highlights the formal program developed for restaurants and bar employees called TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures by Servers of Alcohol): - The average 150-pound man will exceed the “legally impaired” level of alcohol in the bloodstream (.08) by drinking four 12-ounce beers within one hour. Women will generally have a higher level of alcohol because they have a higher % of body fat vs muscle (body fat does not absorb alcohol). - Many things can factor in including rate of drinking, strength of the drink, height, weight, size and physical condition, stress and/or exhaustion level, medication and other drugs in the bloodstream. - In trying to determine whether or not an individual is intoxicated, a server should observe the individual’s behavioral clues. Look for: - Loss of inhibitions (talks too loud, gets unusually exuberant or moody) - Loss of judgment (inappropriate behavior, foul language, irrational comments, impulsive acts, extreme anger, grabbing beer, throwing cup) - Impaired reactions (slurred speech, sleepy/bloodshot eyes, loss of train of thought) - Hampered coordination (loss of balance, spilling, sloppiness, dropping beer) - If a guest exhibits any of the above signs of impairment and is belligerent and/or is posing a danger to themselves or others, excuse yourself for the moment and communicate with (Simrae Solutions or DPD on channel 4 for help resolving the situation. - If security is not available, then: - Use a calm and firm tone of voice and suggest that the individual take a break from consuming alcohol; suggest getting a soft drink or some food; speak directly to the point ask it causes far fewer negative reactions (slow down the rate of consumption). - Don’t be afraid to take responsibility for your actions, such as beginning your sentences in the first person “I” rather than the accusatory “you”; for example, “I believe you need to take a break” rather than “You look like you have had too much to drink.” - Provide a reason for your action in a non-threatening and nonjudgmental way since everyone responds more positively to reasonable statements. Reasons include “It is the event’s house rules not to over serve” or “It is against the law to serve alcoholic beverages to someone who appears to have been over served”. - You don’t want to have to call security - act as if you are on their side. If the individual insists on contesting your decision to deny service, stop serving totally. Take the beer off the table. Walk away. Do not take matters into your own hands.
NOISE ABATEMENT Outdoor Stage placement has been selected to reduce the impact of surrounding neighborhoods. Outdoor music will cease at 10 PM each day. Additionally, construction/ deconstruction of outdoor stages is being conducted during daytime hours in order to reduce the impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. We are working with the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment to ensure that we stay within the legal compliance of sound volume (80db). Please Contact Us First if this becomes an issue.

WASTE DIVERSION, LITTER MANAGEMENT, TOILETS Community Events shouldn’t cause community harm, that is why UMS is committed to reducing waste at out events. We will be reducing straw use at this event, in addition to implementing measure to divert waste from the landfill. Our Community Ambassadors will be working with our waste partners day and night to ensure that litter stays out of the streets, our waterways, and out of neighborhoods. UMS is committed along with our venue partners to provide ample access to restrooms for our patrons. We have built in signage and stage announcements to inform patrons that we must work together to reduce community harm.
INCLUSIVE DESIGN All venues provide access for all patrons. We are also providing large portable toilets at all outdoor stages.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT UMS sent mailers to local neighbors. Engaged with the local government and community partners. Presented at several neighborhood and merchant meetings. Hosted a preview party, pop-ups and a community open house. We went door to door to talk with residents. Used social media, radio, and print to communicate our plan.
Thank you for taking the time to review the UMS Harm Reduction Plan. This comprehensive plan
comes from years of working in and around festivals, and our belief that community events need
not cause community harm. This requires all of us doing our part, and maybe a little bit more for
those that are having a bad day. We believe we all can have it all. We can reduce waste, make it
homes safe, keep the neighborhoods clean, and dance our hearts out! This plan is a living
document that will change as processes improve. If you have ideas about how this plan can be
improved please share them. Our collective knowledge is what powers the future.
Our wish is that this document becomes the new baseline. We hope that it inspires a sense of pride
and competition that results in safer and more sustainable community gatherings.
We look forward to making this UMS the best yet!
