Every year, countless parades march through the streets of downtown Denver, each with its own certain pomp and circumstance. However, there is no other downtown holiday celebration that matches the masses of people who take to the streets in order to see the hundreds of thousands of lights marching through the city during the Annual Denver Parade of Lights.
The parade lineup consist of dazzling floats, massive festive balloons, horse drawn carriages, street performers, and of course local area high school marching bands playing the holiday hits. Make sure you stay until the very end, so as not to miss Santa Clause’s annual Denver cameo.
This year, the celebration takes place on Friday, December 4th at 8:00 PM, and Saturday, December 5th at 6:00 PM. It takes place in downtown Denver, beginning at Civic Center Park and the beautifully-lit City and County Building on 14th Ave and Bannock. An estimated 350,000 people are expected each year, so get to the route early and secure your spot.
Spectator viewing is free along the entire 2-mile parade route, with the exception of the grandstand seating in front of the City and County Building. For those who cannot make it downtown, the parade will be broadcast live on channel 9 as well.
