Western Welcome Week Parade 2022

Wow, it feels like it was only a year ago that we posted about the Western Welcome Week parade in Littleton. That's probably because it was only a year ago. It's an annual event, after all. The truth of the matter is, this is an event that my family and I always try to hit. It's been a tradition for us for over twenty years, so of course, I'm going to do another post about it.

The Western Welcome Week parade is one of the biggest parades in the Denver area. As usual, there were tons of community organizations, floats, classic cars, equestrians, and marching bands making their way down Littleton Blvd. One of the things that makes this parade unique each year is the sheer number of marching bands that take part.

Usually, things get pretty toasty sitting out on the street watching a parade in the middle of August. However, this year we had an unseasonably cool morning for the parade, with high temperatures in the mid 70's. It was a very comfortable morning. Next year, I'm sure we'll be sweating buckets again.

Enjoy a few shots from this year's parade.
