32nd Annual Conifer Christmas Parade - Christmas Around The World! Dec 6th

Please join us for a fun-filled afternoon of Christmas festivities, games, entertainment, contests, food & drink, shopping, and family delight sponsored by First Bank ! Our theme this year is Christmas Around The World and we have quite the day scheduled for you.

The festivities begin at 11:30 with music and contests, our parade starts at 1:30 and goes from West Jeff Middle to Sutton Rd down to King Soopers and back. We'll have our Christmas Markets with local vendors inside our HEATED Spirits Tent this year, still serving up Peppermint Schnapps Hot Chocolate & Fireball Whiskey Hot Apple Cider for the adults, and hot cocoa for the kids.

NEW this year - Santa Games! We'll have frozen cornhole, Guess the Weight of Santa, Brain Freeze, and our favorite, the Frozen T-Shirt Contest. And it wouldn't be the same without our Santa's Milk & Cookies Eating Competition!

We'll be drawing the name of our $1,000 Cash Raffle winner that afternoon so buy your tickets during the day, then stick around to hear if you've won! The tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20 and you can purchase them at Brooks Place Tavern, at a Chamber event from one of our Ambassadors, or on Christmas Parade Day from one of our "elves" running around.

Elk Creek Creek Fire will again be hosting Santaland. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be arriving by fire truck, then waiting to hear what all the kids want for Christmas while getting their picture taken with Santa. We'll have a bonfire to keep us toasty warm and are working on getting chestnuts to roast in the fire!

We'll have not one, but TWO, fun rides available! Our ever-popular Horse-Drawn Trolley from Camp IdRaHaJe and sponsored by Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity ReStore will be $1/ride, and is joined this year by a horse-drawn Carriage Ride sponsored by Biggie Liquor ! Rides in the carriage are $10/family of 4.

We're excited for our upcoming Christmas Parade as we expect this to be bigger and better than ever - we hope you'll join us!

Why have one horse drawn ride when you can have two? NEW this year Romantic Carriage Rides through Aspen Park sponsored by Biggie Wine & Liquor. Rides are $10 per load (4 people max.) from 2:30p-5:30p Parade Day!

Saturday, December 6th, 11:30 - 5:30 pm

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate with us this year!

Check out how much fun you can have - all in one place!

Since this year's theme is Christmas Around the World, we thought it would be fun to incorporate some international themes throughout. The German tradition we'll be celebrating involves the hidden pickle! In German it is called finden Sie die Gurke!


We need participants and volunteers to run this free game. We'll be hiding 10 pictures like this all around the parade. If you find one, bring it to our games tent (another way to volunteer!) to pick up your prize of a real glass ornament. Game will begin at 11:30 and end when they are all gone so get to the parade early!

If you'd like to help by volunteering, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and check in at the Games Tent on Sutton Rd across from the Christmas Market/Spirits Tent. Thank you!

Looking for that perfect Christmas gift? How about a Conifer slogan long sleeve t-shirt. Available for $20 parade day or get $5 off by entering our NEW Frozen T-shirt Competition! Make sure to sign up early - the competition starts at 1p in the Christmas Village. Choose between "Natural High" or "Elevate your Life"





What exactly is a frozen t-shirt contest you ask? Well, it's where we roll a wet t-shirt up into a ball, freeze it, then you have to be the first to unroll it and put it on to win! Here's one of our committee members testing it out - doesn't this look like fun?!

It's our mission to encourage everyone to Shop Local, and to that end, we're proud to announce the vendors participating in our 2014 Christmas Markets. Please bring cash or your checkbooks as you'll find lots of great handmade gifts for friends and family on Saturday!
