Our Mission
The Arvada Harvest Festival and Parade commemorate the hearty history of the once primarily farming community of Arvada, Colorado. It is the second longest continuously running festival in Colorado. Beginning in October, 1925 to celebrate the completion of the first concrete road between Arvada and Denver, this community tradition has been overseen by Arvada citizens, the Arvada Chamber of Commerce and the Arvada Jaycees. Today, a variety of Arvada citizens and neighbors produce and host this cultural and historic celebration of Arvada, with the oversight of the Arvada Junior Chamber Foundation's 501 (c) 3 status. Our Festival and Parade stands out from the rest due to our commitment to value for families, old time festival traditions, and an emphasis on free or affordable activities for all.
2012 Arvada Harvest Festival Parade
I love a parade, the tramping of feet, I love every beat I hear of a drum.
Celebrating our American Olympians!
Grand Marshall and 2012 Olympian, American Female Wrestler Kelsey Campbell!
Got bands? Yes, 14 of them!
I love a parade, when I hear a band I just want to stand and cheer as they come.
Plenty of El Jebel Shriner Fun!
That rat-a tat-tat, the blare of a horn.That rat-a-tat-tat, a bright uniform;
So much to salute . . .
I thrill at the skill of everything military.
These Colors March Proudly
I love a parade, a handful of vets,
The Colors Raised High
A line of cadets or any brigade,
Riding with Pride
For I love a parade.
Harvest Festival History!
Festival Frivolity!
Horsin' Around!
Very "good" sports from the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Mammoth . . . .
Very "good" sports - Bernie, Rocky and Wooly!
I Love a Parade!
Composer Harold Arlen.
