Welcome to the 2018 Parker Christmas Carriage Parade! Parker began as a Way Station and Post Office for stagecoaches and travelers in the 1860’s. One building was called The 20 Mile House because it was 20 miles of horse, wagon and game trails from Parker to Denver. It is in the nostalgia of that tradition that the Parker Christmas Carriage Parade took hold in 1984 and has continued every year since. The Parade is held annually on the second Saturday of December. No motor vehicles are used in the Parade.
The parade started back in 1984 and was originally sponsored by the Parker Chamber of Commerce. Dean and Lynn Salisbury were in charge and they began the tradition because Dean loved to drive horse carriages. This tradition has continued for last 34 years! There are no motorized vehicles allowed during the parade and the last carriage is ALWAYS Santa Claus.
Parker is rich in history and offers something for everyone – from parks and recreation, historic downtown, hiking and biking trails, cultural events at our acclaimed PACE Center and easy access to downtown Denver. Parker is the perfect blend of history and future innovation.
Located on the Rocky Mountain Front Range, residents can see six of Colorado’s 54 Fourteeners from almost anywhere in town. Sitting at 5900 ft in elevation, we are known for beautiful snow capped Rocky Mountains views and bright blue skies. Sunshine for over 300 days a year is something we never grow tired of.
Osgood Team Real Estate located on Mainstreet livestreamed the Christmas Carriage Parade for the first time in 2017 in order to provide this wonderful tradition for those who were unable to attend in person. This year we have partnered with the Town of Parker to offer the livestream again. One of the things we most love to support about Parker is its Spirit of Community, and the Christmas Carriage Parade is one of the many things Parker does throughout the year to continue the tradition of a Western Small Town Feel even though we are a very popular and growing community. Parker’s western beginnings and continued equestrian traditions are celebrated here.
