Festival of Lights Parade

Everyone’s favorite family holiday tradition returns to downtown Colorado Springs on Tejon Street! The Parade is put on each year by a dedicated volunteer board of directors who supervise two contract employees to bring together an event that delights crowds of 40,000-50,000 on Tejon Street in Downtown Colorado Springs each holiday season! The Parade is always the first Saturday in December every year and features nearly 100 beautifully lighted and decorated entries and is broadcast live on media sponsor KKTV. Local companies and organizations, large and small, create holiday fantasies to share with children of all ages.

Get there early for a good seat, bundle up and enjoy the parade as participants put on a dazzling display of lights, sounds, and performances. Bands, floats, horses, and all kinds of special entries will compete for top honors in their class.

The parade starts at the intersection of Tejon St. and St. Vrain in Downtown Colorado Springs and ends at the intersection of Tejon St. and Vermijo.
