The Parade route begins at noon, Saturday, March 16, on the corner of Tejon Street and E. St. Vrain and continues south on Tejon Street to Vermijo in downtown Colorado Springs.  The Parade typically lasts about 1-1/2 hours.

The best place to park is in any one of the City Parking Garages or other downtown parking lots. Parking meters will be working! If you park in residential areas, please be respectful of driveways and landscaping! Illegal parking can result in tickets, fines or having your car towed.

Food and drink are sold at numerous locations along the parade route at local restaurants and pubs and at food booths on the street. Booths will serve soft drinks, hot dogs, burgers, tamales, etc. along with beverages. In addition, there are many restaurants in downtown Colorado Springs. Alcohol is not allowed anywhere outside along the parade route.

Parade cancellation? No way! It’s only happened twice and it was global pandemic. But, rain, snow, or (preferably) beautiful Colorado sunshine, the parade will go on!
