On Saturdays in December, authentic and historic downtown Golden becomes a festive holiday center with traditional decorations and fun family events! The free Olde Golden Christmas Parade starts at 10:30 a.m. with cowboys on horses, floats, bands, old cars, elves on unicycles, the Grinch in his corvette, and of course, Santa Claus.

The parade winds down Washington Avenue with lots of activities before and after including snappy barbershop quartets, hot cider, Victorian carolers, and antique fire trucks. The parades are presented by the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

No need to wait until midnight to celebrate the new Year! It’s already 2019 for much of the world; come celebrate with Paris’s countdown at the Golden Library with crafts, games and music for the whole family from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
