Cisneros, who works a block a way from Civic Center Park, says she doesn't have a problem with that.
"No, it's going to be too crowded," she said, "too much celebrating, too many people. Happiness!"
Carla Esquibel-Melendez said she too will be at the parade and rally.
"I took the day off," she said. "I'm taking my son to the parade."
Items such as backpacks and large bags are also discouraged as these are subject to inspection by safety officials. Alcohol and marijuana are prohibited.
"Essentially," said Denver Marketing Director Jenny Schiavone, "think of it as you would in terms of what you would bring to a football game if you were going to Sports Authority Field.
