Night Parade and Lighting Ceremony to Kick Off Holiday Season in Greeley

A nighttime parade has a much different feeling than a morning parade. The floats and participants are illuminated and have to really think of out-of-the-box decorating in order to be seen in the dark.

The 2022 Greeley Lights the Night Holiday Parade and Grand Lighting Ceremony is coming up on Saturday, November 26th. Dress warm and gather along 9th Avenue, from 15th St to Lincoln Park. The parade begins at 5:30 pm. There are more than 50 entries.

Following the parade, there will be a Grand Lighting Ceremony at Lincoln Park. These events officially kick off the holiday season in Greeley.

This is the 25th year of these events. In addition to the parade and lighting ceremony, Santa will be onsite. Hot chocolate, apple cider, and treats will warm you up and add to the joy!

Earlier in the day, you can wander around downtown Greeley for the open house where many merchants will offer refreshments and a chance to win really impressive gift baskets.

It's not too late to join the fun, enter the parade, or be a sponsor by visiting the Greeley Chamber of Commerce website.

25 years of tradition and you are invited.
