Location
Know Before You Go
- Hours: 6 PM.
- Parking: Recommended parking is at all day lots, 4th and 5th streets, or on the west side with a walk across the bridge. Barricades go up along the parade route at 5:30 pm; visitors cannot go around them.
- Accessibility: The City of Laramie publishes an ADA parking map for downtown.
Tips & Advice
- Get downtown well before the parade, because barricades go up along the route half an hour ahead and you can't go around them.
- Park in the free all-day lots or on 4th and 5th Streets, since the on-street downtown spots are meant for two-hour customer parking.
- Parking on the west side and walking across the pedestrian bridge is another good option, and it keeps you clear of the barricaded parade streets.
- Start your evening at the Train Depot Holiday Open House, with refreshments from The Soup Kitchen and holiday performances before the parade.
- Catch the train lighting in Depot Park with a special guest just before the parade heads down 1st and 2nd Streets.
