Parade watching in Denver

This year’s Parade of Lights takes place Dec. 1-2. The two-mile parade begins at the Denver Civic Center and, after winding through downtown, concludes at the corner of 14th Street and Glenarm Place. The CSU Marching Band’s only parade appearance is on Friday, Dec. 1; the parade starts at 8 p.m.

CSU’s 265 musicians, colorguard, and Golden Poms, joined by CSU Cheer and Cam the Ram, will lead the numerous floats, balloons, and dozens of holiday characters as the only collegiate marching band in the parade.
