Sadly, the 250-ft tall Red Eye Ferris wheel announced by Denver International Airport (DEN) on April 1 was just an April’s Fools joke.
But there are plenty of real events coming to the airport during May that travelers will enjoy.
May The Fourth Be With You
Like some other airports around the country, Denver International Airport has a good time on Star Wars Day – May 4th.
This year they’ll do it again. On Thursday, May 4 characters from the Star Wars movies will be parading in the Jeppesen Terminal and all the concourses between 10:30 am and 1 pm.
Travelers will be able to get their pictures taken with Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mandalorian, and a Stormtrooper.
On Friday, May 5, DEN Airport will celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a performance by the Baila Conmigo Dance Group in the Jeppesen Terminal Great Hall and in the concourses between 10 am and 1 pm.
National Paper Airplane Day
And on Friday, May 26th between 9 am and noon, Denver International Airport will be celebrating National Paper Airplane Day.
From 9 am until noon a traveling craft station will visit the concourses at DEN with a supply of origami paper and offer tutorials on how to fold the perfect paper airplane.
