The City of Cripple Creek is delighted to invite you to take part in a cherished holiday tradition — the Gold Camp Country Christmas Parade, taking place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 12:00 PM in historic downtown Cripple Creek.
Parade Line-up will begin at 11:30 am on E Carr by the Train Depot. The route will run up Bennett Ave from 5th street and will end at The Aspen Mine Center, where Santa will disembark from his float and join the community for a meet and greet.
This year’s theme, “Gold Camp Country Christmas,” celebrates the charm and nostalgia of the season in our beautiful mountain town. We invite businesses, organizations, community groups, and individuals to join the fun by entering a float, vehicle, marching group, or other festive display that captures the spirit of the holidays and the rich heritage of Gold Camp Country.
Bring your creativity, holiday cheer, and a touch of sparkle to help make this parade one to remember! Whether you participate or come to enjoy the sights and sounds, your presence helps make Cripple Creek’s Christmas celebration truly magical.
Parade registration is free, but space is limited — please submit your entry form by December 5, 2025, to kspillane [at] cripple-creek.co.us (kspillane[at]cripple-creek[dot]co[dot]us) or in person at Cripple Creek City Hall. Entry forms and additional details can be found by contacting Kerri Spillane at 719-270-1999 or kspillane [at] cripple-creek.co.us (kspillane[at]cripple-creek[dot]co[dot]us).
