It’s time to celebrate Christmas in Manitou! Join us for this annual event in Manitou Springs beginning at 6 o’clock!
‘Twas two weeks before Christmas and all through the land,
excitement grew quickly for the parade we have planned!
Celebrate Christmas this tenth of December
Create holiday moments you’ll always remember!
Manitou Avenue will be all aglow,
As Happy attendees jaunt to and fro!
Bring out your family and all of your friends,
dawn your red hat and fuzzy mittens.
The parade begins at the 6th strike of the clock,
from Ruxton to El Paso is where our Marchers will walk.
Children can gather for the rare and special site,
Of the man all in red with a beard big and white.
Come early and enjoy the fine sights of the city,
Radiant, Lively, the lights will be pretty!
Stay for dinner with family and friends,
Finish last-minute shopping to tie those loose ends!
Rejoice “Seasons Greetings!” and celebrate with us this year,
For its the Manitou Christmas Parade, an event full of cheer.
This event is free to all good girls and boys. Those who are kind can bring unwrapped toys. Toys for Tots will collect your gracious gifts, look for the Marines and their fancy outfits. They will collect your offerings as they walk down the street. Because collective kindness just can't be beat!

Additional time info:
We suggest getting to Manitou about an hour early for parking. Manitou Avenue will be closed at 5:45 p.m. at El Paso to the East and Park Ave to the west. We also highly suggest that you make plans to stay in Manitou for dining after the parade as it historically takes about an hour for all the traffic to dissipate. All of the city's parking fees will still be applicable. There will be parking on Manitou Avenue, but once the parade starts you cannot move your car by order of MSPD.
