Downtown Denver goes bananas for Savannah Bananas weekend
McGregor Square is transforming into the ultimate Bananas viewing party. Whether you're looking to peel out early, stay ripe all weekend, or just soak in the banana fever, this is the place to be.
"We're really going to be able to experience all of the banana fever right here at McGregor Square," said Brooke Bishop, COO of McGregor Square. "Because of our relationship with the Rockies, we're creating an experience no one else in the city has."
The festivities kick off Saturday, with ESPN broadcasting live from McGregor Square while streaming the game on the stadium's massive outdoor screen. And on Sunday, fans can catch the in-stadium feed — complete with video and sound — for a fully immersive watch party.
But the banana love doesn't stop there.
Across the street, McGregor Square is hosting "Bananas on the Block" a themed celebration packed with special food and drink offerings from local favorites:
From banana-themed karaoke (bananoke) to a banana disco, LoDo is turning into a full-on fruit frenzy.
No ticket? No problem. The Savannah Bananas hype is alive and well in downtown Denver — and everyone's invited to go bananas.

Jamie Lee Curtis Calls Out Critic as ‘A Tad Harsh' For Negative ‘Freakier Friday' Review: ‘Some People Love It'
Jamie Lee Curtis is not afraid to let critics know what she thinks of their reviews. Curtis recently starred in 'Freakier Friday,' the sequel to her 2003 body-swap comedy 'Freaky Friday.' The film sees her reprise the role of Tess Coleman alongside her original co-star and on-screen daughter, Lindsay Lohan. In a post on Instagram on Friday, Time shared an excerpt from Stephanie Zacharek's review of the film. More from Variety 'Freakier Friday' Is One of the Rare Studio Films to Shoot in L.A., but the Original Coleman Family House Was Lost in L.A. Fires Box Office: 'Weapons' Winning With $18.2 Million Opening Day, 'Freakier Friday' in Second With $12.7 Million Box Office: 'Weapons' Makes $5.7 Million in Previews, 'Freakier Friday' Has $3.1 Million In the review, she wrote, 'No one, as far as we know, actually asked Disney for a sequel to 2003's buoyant, surprisingly unsyrupy generation-gap comedy 'Freaky Friday.'' Curtis responded by commenting on the post, 'SEEMS a TAD HARSH. SOME people LOVE it. Me being one.' It seems Zacharek is in the minority with her negative review. 'Freakier Friday' sits at a 73% and 94% audience score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The film is also performing well at the box office, grossing $12.7 million on Friday with a projected three-day gross of $27 to $30 million. 'Freakier Friday' takes place decades after the original. Anna now has her own daughter (Julia Butters) and a soon-to-be stepdaughter (Sophia Hammons). As she attempts to navigate the struggles of merging her two families, Anna, her mother Tess, her daughter and her stepdaughter get tangled in a four-way body swap. Appearing alongside Lohan, Curtis, Butters and Hammons are Manny Jacinto, Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Nisha Ganatra directed the film with a script from Jordan Weiss, Elyse Hollander and Mary Rodgers. In his review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman was keen on the long-awaited sequel, writing that the film nailed the 'slapstick psychology' of the body-swapping genre with 'stodgy aplomb.'
