Parade entrants will line up on 6th Street and proceed out onto U.S. 160 heading east and then turn south onto Hot Springs Boulevard, ending at Apache Street. Traffic will be diverted around the parade route and spectator viewing is allowed as indicated on the parade route map listed below. There will be no parking along the parade route; additional information will be published at a later date as to when the road closures will occur.
For safety reasons, no items or candy are to be thrown from the entries. Walking participants may hand out items to spectators, which is always appreciated.
The parade is a fun family activity and requires a lot of volunteers from the community to help make it a success every year. If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact Town Hall at (970) 264-4151.
