Join us for the 52nd annual 9NEWS Parade of Lights in Downtown Denver on Saturday, December 5, 2026!
For more than 50 years, the Downtown Denver Partnership has proudly produced the 9NEWS Parade of Lights, Colorado’s most dazzling holiday tradition. This free, family-friendly celebration brings our community together in the heart of downtown through light, music, and cultural expression.
The 9NEWS Parade of Lights is where Denver kicks off the holiday season, a place to create new traditions, relive cherished memories, and experience the magic of our city shining bright.
