Colorado State Fair Parade

Come enjoy Colorado’s most historic parade, Saturday, August 28. Entry information is also available.

The 2010 Colorado State Fair Parade will begin at 10am on Union Avenue and Abriendo Street, and will end on 8th and Main Street. 

The parade is a fun event to get Colorado businesses and organizations to put their creativity to the test and compete to be the best with this year’s theme, “Adventure and Excitement… It’s all Fair Game.”  The theme gives participants a chance to recognize or represent the adventure and excitement of their organization, community, state, and country. 

Prizes will be awarded to the top three in each category including youth organizations, civic/community organizations, and commercial.  Prizes will also be awarded to the first in Saddle Club, animal drawn vehicles, antique vehicles, and custom vehicles. 

Marching bands in the parade will finish their portion of the competition in the band shell at the State Fair Grounds.  Non-profit organizations can enter the “Pooper Scooper Contest” to be judged on costume, creativity, usefulness, entertainment value, and how well they “scoop the poop” after the parade animals pass. 

Anyone interested in entering the parade, sponsorship opportunities, or more information can call Amber at 719.542.1704.

Special thanks to Comcast of Colorado for their generosity in helping to make this event possible.
