Local businesses, schools, churches and many more participate in downtown Boulder's holiday shebang. This year, the parade will be held on December 5th at 6pm. Floats festooned with twinkling lights, music, and the Pearl Street Mall's shops all lit up with doors open wide to invite spectators to shop, sip coffee, or grab a bite. Other sights to see include fire engines, marching bands, and Santa Claus himself! Before or after the parade, be sure to grab dinner at one of Boulder's local restaurants or a beer at Mountain Sun Brewery, conveniently located in the heart of downtown. This event is great for children and the child in us all.
