ANNOUNCING THE 2016 PARADE ROUTE!!! ***Please note the parade will end at Davis Drive with post parade parking on the south side of Sutton Road.***THE PARADE WILL NOT RETURN TO LINEUP. We suggest viewing the parade west of Dallman Drive. We ask that horse trailers park behind Bank of the West (after 12p) and ride over to parade lineup at West Jeff Middle school so they will be near their trailers at the end of the parade. Parade participants are encouraged to stay for the parade awards directly following the parade. A shuttle is provided to take your back to your cars at West Jeff Middle.

Did you know there is a HEATED shuttle service for the parade? Park at West Jefferson Elementary School and pick up the shuttle at the playground gate for access to the Christmas Village and Parade lineup. Why walk in the cold when you can ride in a toasty warm shuttle? PLEASE NOTE all Christmas in Conifer activities happen BEFORE the parade (10a-2p) please plan to come early! If you are participating in the parade you may park your float at parade lineup and take the shuttle to Christmas Village. The shuttle will run from 10a-4p Saturday, December 3rd!
