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, marching 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, dog cart rides, hay rides and antique fire trucks. Presented by the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

The mission of the Community Sustainability Advisory Board (CSAB) is to assist the City of Golden in achieving the ten-year sustainability goals. In order to facilitate achievement of these goals, the Board will lead, encourage, enable, and empower the citizens, visitors, and people who work in Golden, to live in a sustainable manner.

The Community Sustainability Advisory Board meets the fourth Wednesday of each month in Council Chambers from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., unless rescheduled due to calendar conflicts. Meetings are open to the public.

In 1989, the Golden City Council created the Golden Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) to support the economic vitality of downtown Golden. When the Golden City Council created GURA, it also adopted an Urban Renewal Plan to provide guidance to GURA. The organization implements urban renewal projects, consistent with community values.

The Golden Urban Renewal Authority meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers. To learn more, visit our GURA page. To view agendas and minutes for GURA meetings, visit our Agendas, Minutes, Web Casts and Schedules page.

The Jefferson Brass Quintet, composed of former and current members of the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, will present a short program of Christmas music at the Golden History Center. Join with friends for fun evening of brass holiday music in a festive setting.

This program is free, but seating is limited. Doors will open at 5:30. Donations are appreciated.

**PLEASE NOTE: At present Colorado is under a Winter Storm Warning and the temperature for Saturday is projected to be 7-10 degrees.

Safety for “all” is a big concern for us.

The Holiday Parade for Saturday, December 17 is CANCELED due to impending weather.
