Lights of December Parade

Saturday, December 13, 2025 | 6 pm

Spectators are invited to enjoy floats created and decorated by local businesses, churches, schools, community groups and nonprofits. The grand finale includes an appearance by the jolly old man himself - Santa Claus! 

The parade reviewing stand (with detailed announcements about each participating group) will be located at Broadway & Pearl (with lots of great spots nearby to grab a warm drink!).

The parade route starts at 15th & Walnut streets, heads west to Broadway, north on Broadway, turns east on Spruce and finishes at 15th & Spruce.  Please remember to stay safe by staying behind the fencing and out of the streets for the duration of the parade!

2025 Lights of December Parade is now full. You may fill out the waitlist form to express interest, and if a spot opens up, Downtown Boulder will contact you for payment and more information.
