Where's the best place to park if you're going to this??

The parade is going to go in the opposite direction this year. It is going to start by the community center and end at King Soopers.


As for parking, the park n ride in Aspen Park is good, but fills up fast. The lots at King Soopers and the rest of the stores are always a good option. And since the parade is ending there you dont have to walk far.

Thank you pacamom, that is correct.

Public parking is also available at West Jefferson Elementary School, Conifer Community Church, and the RTD lot on Conifer Rd. (which will fill up first). Come early!

Listing of Additional Events and Times They Are Happening!

There's something fun to do starting with the Conifer Winter Carnival at 9:30am going until 4:30pm with cookie decorating and storytime at Peak Learning Systems! Lots of activities for the kids, great shopping deals, free prizes to win, and even carolers wandering around! It's going to be a great day - come on out and join us!!

Thanks for the info...

You're most welcome!

We are still in need to volunteers to help along the parade route, if anyone's interested please call!! Thank you so much!

We hope this helps show more clearly where you can park and where you might want to watch! If anyone would like a bigger version of this map, please email me and I'll be happy to send it to you!


Don't forget the deadline for entries is today if you'd like to be in the parade!

Don't forget the parade is tomorrow! :banana: :love2: It is going to snow on our parade and that is OKAY! Dress warmly! :coldwind:
