The Fourth of July is fast approaching, and lots of activities are being planned to make it a fun-filled day.
The annual Fourth of July Parade will starts at 10am on a newly selected parade route. The new route begins on Hot Springs Boulevard south of the post office and continues down to the south end of Yamaguchi Park.
Make sure to arrive early to find parking and pick your viewing location. Public parking will be available downtown along the highway, at the Town Hall and the high school. Parking restrictions will prohibit parking along the parade route, with road closures expected to begin around 9:30am.
If you want to enter the parade, don’t forget the deadline to submit your application is Tuesday, June 25, at noon or until we have reached our entry capacity.
Applications can be completed online at https://www.pagosasprings.co.gov/4th-july-parade-and-fireworks
This year’s theme is “Back to the Future.”
Additional July Fourth activities can be found on the Visit Pagosa Springs Website.
