It’s Parade Time In Park Hill

Get Ready To Celebrate Independence Day With Pomp and Flair

By Justin Bresler

4th of July Parade Organizer

Come one, come all to the 6th annual Park Hill 4th of July Parade! The parade starts at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 4 at 23rd Ave. and Dexter St., and runs all the way to Krameria St. So pull up a blanket and some chairs, and be sure to get there early for a prime spot.

This year’s parade will be full of surprises. With more than 60 entries, including new ones and old favorites, the event is sure to be a treat for all ages. This year seems to be a year for pairs: two cheer squads, two drum lines (including the Montbello Drumline, making their parade debut), two groups of hula hoopers and even two sets of pageant queens.

Add to that a Denver Public Library tricycle (check), a bushel of electric-powered vehicles (check!), the debut of the Park Hill Marching band (check!!) and a 16-foot tall, hand-pulled replica of a famous Krishna temple (check!!!) and you’ve got the perfect recipe for some Independence Day fun … Park Hill-style.

Join us afterwards at the Kearney Street Fair for food at Cake Crumbs and other merchants, music from Gracie Blue, kids activities on the sidewalks and more.

For more information, visit the Parade website at ParkHillParade.org. If you’re taking pictures and tweeting at the parade, be sure to use the hashtag, #parkhillparade.

See you on the 4th!
