The City of Denver will provide Denver residents some grant entertainment next Friday and Saturday!  The 40t annual 2014 Parade of Lights will be held in downtown Denver with a 2-mile route for families to enjoy the lights and sounds of a Holiday parade.

 

 

 

Parade of Lights

 

 

Friday night - 12/5 Parade will begin at 8 pm

Saturday night - 12/6 Parade will begin at 6 pm

 

You won’t want to miss the sparkling lights, marching bands, giant balloons, dazzling floats and delightful characters as they take to the streets of Downtown. Spectator viewing for the Parade is free all along the two-mile route or purchase grandstand tickets for seating in front of the City & County Building.

 

If the weather is chilly, be sure to bundle up the kiddos, pack some hot chocolate and be prepared to enjoy some great entertainment.   If you decide not to pack anything, many restaurants in the area would love to see you!

 

 

 

Route for Parade of Lights

 

 

The parade route will begin in front of Civic Center Park and 14th Avenue and will continue along the 2 mile route with Santa bringing up the rear.

Thinking of catching dinner before the Parade?   Here is an interactive map of downtown and all the venues to choose from.

Sounds like great fun.  I haven't been to a Christmas Parade in years.  Our grandson is riding on a float this year, so we will be attending that parade.  Hope I don't freeze!
