Holiday parades abound this time of year, but the signature event for Denver is the 9NEWS Parade of Lights that takes place Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 6 p.m. See marching bands, 40 dazzling floats, marching bands, equestrian units, giant balloon characters and horse-drawn carriages illuminated with sparkling lights.
Our spies tell us to expect an appearance by Santa Claus, himself. It’s likely to be chilly, so grab your hot chocolate, ear muffs and bundle up.
