We are very pleased to announce this year's Conifer Christmas Parade Theme is: The Magic of Hollywood! We encourage all entries to pick a favorite Christmas Movie as the theme for their entry.
We are planning a bigger and better event for you this year, with not one but two heated tents! We will have both a heated Christmas Spirits Tent, sponsored by Aspen Park Wine & Spirits
, and a heated Christmas Markets Tent!
We are currently looking for a few more vendors to fill our Christmas Markets tent so if you have items you'd like to sell for the holidays, this is the perfect place to do it! Everyone's in the mood, we have ~5,000 people attend the parade, and it's before the last-minute gift rush. Please fill out and return the vendor application linked below along with your payment to reserve your spot - they are filling up fast!
What's the best way to view the parade? Aboard a float of course! We welcome any and all to join the parade - it's a ton of fun and a great way to meet your local community. Grab your neighbors and friends and join us Saturday December 5th at 2p. Entry forms are due November 28th (application below).
NEW THIS YEAR - Parade entry sponsorships available!
How does it work?
Our Committee will solicit sponsors for parade entries. Our sponsors can choose their favorite club or organization or we’ll pair them with one. Sponsored parade entries will get their entry fee waived. In exchange our entries agree to have promotion displayed as their organization’s name sponsored by their sponsor’s name and display their sponsor’s banner on their entry. Both receive additional promotion for their partnership.
A big Thank You to our title sponsor RE/MAX Alliance Evergreen
! We certainly could not have our annual Christmas Parade without their support.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
