For over three decades, the Parade of Lights has brought holiday cheer to hundreds of thousands of Denver and Colorado families, becoming a beloved multi-generational tradition. As a free event, the Parade is accessible to everyone in the community, and in 2024, the event drew over 250,000 attendees for its 50th Anniversary.
 
Each year, we secure funding to keep this celebration free and ensure that cultural groups, local performers, and marching bands can participate without fees. This commitment keeps the Parade diverse, inclusive and welcoming to all who want to take part.
