Get in the Holiday Spirit at Parker’s Christmas Carriage Parade
Join your friends and neighbors for more holiday cheer at the annual Christmas Carriage Parade on Saturday, Dec. 12. This joyful tradition is presented by the Town of Parker and the Colorado Driving Society on the second Saturday of December each year. The day begins at 10 a.m. at the Winter Farmer’s Market in the Mainstreet Center parking lot, 19650 E. Mainstreet.
Santa will arrive at noon and will be available for pictures in at Victorian Peaks , located at 11020 S. Pikes Peak Drive behind the Mainstreet Center .
Many thanks to The Children’s Hospital for helping Santa find his way to Parker for the Parade. Victorian Peaks has made it possible this year for the Town to offer pony rides and a petting zoo for your family’s enjoyment and will be located behind the Victorian Peaks building, just past the Winter Farmer’s Market. The Winter Farmer’s Market will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the petting zoo and pony rides will be offered from noon to 4 p.m.
This “Christmas in Toyland” themed parade will include dozens of horse-drawn carriages, wagons and stagecoaches from across Colorado all dressed for the occasion! Those who miss getting their picture with Santa before the parade will be pleased to know that Santa will stay for a while before heading home with Mrs. Claus. Be sure to also head down Mainstreet to enjoy holiday ice carvings at Parker Station!

The parade will commence at 2 p.m. heading west on Mainstreet, looping up and around Victorian Drive and back onto Mainstreet, much like the Chamber parade in the summer. Road closures include E. Mainstreet, Pine Drive and Victorian Circle . Please visit www.parkeronline.org for a route map and for more information.
Parking is available at Parker Station, the Mainstreet Center , O’Brien Park and around downtown Parker. Accessible (handicap) parking will be available at the Parker Water and Sanitation building on the corner of E. Mainstreet and Victorian Dr . Please note that E. Mainstreet and Victorian Drive will be closed from 1 to 4 p.m. for the parade. Please park beyond this area if you plan to exit during this time period.
The Town would like to thank all of the generous sponsors who help to make this event possible: The Children’s Hospital, Victorian Peaks, Wells Fargo, Comcast, Parker United Methodist Church, Spradlin Printing, Access Family Medicine, AES Group LLC, Life Style Kitchen and Bath, IREA, Sam’s Club, Noodles & Co., DVD Reflections, the Parker Chronicle and Parker Station Professional Offices.

This page provides a detailed list of Colorado’s pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides and other Halloween farm stuff!! Just scroll down this page! Some are farms, where you take a hay ride out into the field, others are elaborate farm stands with mountains of pumpkins and other activities and some are simple roadside stands. All should have loads of pumpkins to choose from. To really make it fun for your kids, look for those that have the extra activities, like a corn maze, spook house, or hayride. There is usually a small fee for the mazes (of course, the more elaborate mazes tend to charge more. Hayrides are often free. ALWAYS call before you go to confirm all information, they don’t always report changes to me! We have loads of related resources here, too.
On our Pick-your-own website, we also have pages with our own simple instructions on canning, freezing and drying many other fruits and vegetables, such as how to make jam, apple butter, applesauce, spaghetti sauce, salsa, pickles, ketchup or freezing corn (these links open new pages, just close them to return here). Be sure to come back at Christmas if you are looking for a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm! Look at the bottom of the page for links to resources on home canning, picking tips, recipes, etc.. I’m always looking for more to add and feedback about any patch, stand or farm you have visited, so write me using the Feedback form! And if you have a farm and want to add it or correct the information, please click on Add My Farm!
