The 9News Parade of Lights has been a community tradition since 1975. Denver comes alive each year during the first days of December. Kids of all ages “oooooh and aahhhh” at the twinkling lights and pageantry of the city’s largest, longest, and most exciting parade of the year.

This year’s 51st event will take place on Saturday, December 6th, 2025. The holiday parade is televised each season by Denver’s local 9News television station. Floats make their way through the city accompanied by holiday tunes, guests, and Santa, of course. Thousands line the streets as nothing can stop the Parade of Lights.
