The annual Catch the Glow holiday parade is just around the corner! If you haven’t been to the annual parade downtown Estes Park, you are missing out on one of the greatest free events of the year in Estes Park.
This year, the parade will be the day after Thanksgiving, November 27th at 5:30 pm. Other holiday activities downtown will start at noon. Read more about it at the town of Estes Park event page or the Convention and Visitors Bureau Calander.
Inside Scoop
The Catch the Glow Parade is one of the most heavily attended downtown events of the year. Be sure to get downtown at least an hour before the parade if you hope to have a curb side spot right on Elkhorn.
Parking can be a big headache unless you have plenty of patience. Plan your parking spot for a quick and easy getaway using only right hand turns or you may be waiting for a while for traffic to clear. Park towards the direction you plan on leaving town.
Don’t forget to dress for the weather. It is always better to overdress than underdress when it comes to dressing warm. You can usually find someone handing out free hot chocolate near Bond Park. Expect a huge line at Starbucks and Kind Coffee so plan accordingly if you absolutely need your coffee.
