Mark your calendars for the first Saturday of December, to participate in one of Colorado Springs’s most beloved holiday traditions, the Festival of Lights Parade! Every year nearly 100 beautifully lighted and decorated entries and is broadcast LIVE. Local companies and organizations, large and small, create holiday fantasies to share with children of ALL ages. The Parade is put on each year by a dedicated volunteer board, a non-profit organization that is supported 100% by entry fees, donations, and sponsorships.
