Be part of Leadville's Parade of Lights

On Friday, Dec. 5, Leadville’s annual Parade of Lights will be held on Harrison Avenue. The parade begins at 5:30 p.m. Don’t miss this chance to be part of Leadville’s holiday season kick-off.

The sign-in staging area will be in the chamber parking lot at 5 p.m.

The parade will end at the Lake County Courthouse with a special appearance by Santa and refreshments.

Awards will be presented for: "Best Holiday Window " along Harrison Avenue.

Register your group with the Lake County Chamber of Commerce. Groups that show-up on the day of the event will also be welcome.

Suggestions:

You may have people walking to hand out candy but in the consideration of safety, please do not throw candy.

Due to the special status of Santa Claus, please do not use a Santa on your float—we have contacted the North Pole and the real Santa has agreed to be present.

Lighting your float:

Portable gasoline-powered generators are a simple way to provide lighting without complicated wiring. You can then use regular Christmas lights designed for house current. Inverters convert 12 volt DC current to no volt AC current (household current).

This device can be easily connected to a vehicle cigarette lighter or electrical system to enable regular household Christmas lights to be used. Another option is to hook up the inverter to a 12-volt power source (like a car battery) carried on your float.
