Arvada Harvest Festival Parade

The Arvada Harvest Festival Parade holds the distinction of ranking as the 2nd largest parade in the State.  We now have over 5,000 participants in the parade with 25,000 to 30,000 spectators.  Some of the main reasons for this success include the number of marching bands we’re able to attract to the Parade, as well as the large number of Elementary, Junior High, and High School groups, organizations, clubs, service clubs, volunteers and business sponsorships that pull together to insure its success. We also offer the only parade championship in the state and are fortunate to have some of the best professionals in their field judging the competing bands.

In 2009, Legacy High School won the competition and subsequently received an invitation to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
