The 30th Annual Pueblo Parade of Lights
will begin Saturday, November 30, 2019 at 5:30 p.m.

Best of Pueblo awarded for the 2017 Pueblo Parade of Lights.

The Pueblo Parade of Lights, a production
of the Pueblo Downtown Association,
marks the start of the Christmas season
for ​Pueblo & Southern Colorado!

For 29 years, Pueblo's Parade of Lights has been a tradition and one of the largest Christmas parades in Colorado. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, festive, colorful and clever floats, school marching bands, drill teams, decorated saddle club horses and car club vehicles festooned with lights thrill many thousands of spectators as the ​parade passes from the Mesa Junction down Union Avenue to Main Street then
west to disband at 6th and Court.

The high winds and rain forecast for the 2018 Pueblo Parade of Lights turned out to be much lighter than expected. Although we were unable to start with fireworks, the parade was great. Many spectators and a few floats or other entries stayed home, not wanting to brave the wind, but it was their loss. We had some of the best floats ever! If you were unable to make it downtown, be sure to watch the rebroadcast of the parade on Channel 19 or see still photos on the "Photos, Winners, etc." tab of this website. 

A special thank you to
​our major sponsors!

Thanks to these businesses for supporting this year's parade!

Comments about the Pueblo Parade of Lights:

We had a blast and can’t wait to do it again next year, bigger
​and better.

...A group of us build the float and we have a group of mechanics  that tackle the truck.   It takes us 7 days to do what you see.
