The Brown Palace hosted its 36th annual Champagne Cascade in its elegant lobby on Nov. 10, 2024 in Denver. It featured two master swordsmen using Napoleonic sabers to sever the bottlenecks of four magnums of Moet & Chandon. The champagne is then poured into the uppermost glass of a two-story, 5,201-glass pyramid, overflowing to the glasses below, creating a dazzling display. This year members of the audience were given the opportunity to take part in an auction to be chosen to be the ones pouring the champagne into the glasses.
