On Independence Day the residents of Columbine Valley take to the streets for the annual 4th of July Parade and Festival. This 30+ year tradition kicks off with breakfast, followed by a parade of families and friends riding decorated golf carts, bicycles, scooters, and wagons through the streets, culminating with live entertainment and refreshments at the Columbine Valley Town Hall. It’s a great way to kick off a favorite summer holiday. Leashed and well-mannered pets are welcome at the parade and festival.
The 4th of July Parade and Festival could not happen without the help of our wonderful volunteers, partners, and sponsors. If you would like to learn how you can contribute, contact Town Hall.
