Pueblo Parade of Lights

Pueblo Parade of Lights is a beloved annual holiday tradition produced by the Pueblo Downtown Association, marking the beginning of the Christmas season in Pueblo and Southern Colorado. The parade brings the community together for an evening celebration featuring festive illuminated floats, school marching bands, drill teams, decorated saddle-club horses, and vehicles from local car clubs.

The parade traditionally begins in the Mesa Junction area at Colorado Avenue and Abriendo Avenue, continues down Union Avenue through Pueblo's Historic Union Avenue District, crosses the Arkansas River, passes the Pueblo Riverwalk, City Hall, and El Pueblo History Museum, and continues through downtown before concluding near 6th Street. The event is free for spectators and attracts thousands of community members and visitors along the parade route.
