Parker’s Community Stage

The Community Stage is great to catch local entertainment from kids to adults. The stage will include a full line-up of demonstrations, cultural presentations, and performers of all ages and varieties. The Council of Arts, Science and Culture, a local non-profit that provides arts programs to kids assists Parker Days in finding great children performers for the Community Stage.

Inflatables

Inflatable rides are available on a pay-per-play basis starting at $1 and going up from there. These rides will primarily be in O’Brien Park.

Bounce houses, a super slide, a climbing wall, safe archery, and more. It’s the perfect way for the younger set to release some pent up energy!

Cost: $3+ per ride and/or unlimited rides in area for $20 per day (separate wristband from carnival rides). Cash or tickets.

Parker Days Parade

Nothing says community like a good parade, and the Parker Days parade represents the best of Parker. This year’s parade theme is Let’s Celebrate Parker! Participants will celebrate the things they love about Parker – favorite places, friendly people, a special memory, significant moments in the Town’s history. The event includes high school marching bands, floats, horses, and more! Since the parade route fills completely, and the streets close early we suggest you arrive an hour early to reserve your spot along the parade route on Mainstreet and Victorian Drive. The announcer’s stand is at the corner of Mainstreet and Pikes Peak Drive in front of the Parker Chamber of Commerce. Remember the parade goes all the way around Victorian Drive so if Mainstreet gets too crowded, you may find better viewing along Victorian Drive!

Food, Soda, and Beer

Tickets are sold for $1 each in the Primary food vending location. The primary food booth is in O’Brien Park parking lot and the secondary food vending area is on Mainstreet and Pine Drive. The Secondary area food vendors will accept cash only. Tickets are non-refundable but can be used for food, beer, and soda.

Parking

Pay parking is available at the Parker Station parking lot. Fees collected at both lots benefit local non-profits and start at $5 for the day. Handicap parking is in the Parker Water Lot and at PACE Center. Do NOT park in retail store parking lots during the event as your car may be towed at your own expense in area’s marked as such.

More information is available on the parking page.

Vendor Wares

At the festival, you will find great finds crafts, art, home goods, and more. Bring your wallet for all of these fun treats.

If you are new to Douglas County then you are in for a treat! This down-home Parker Days event is where you really get to know your friends, neighbors, public officials, Parker Chamber members, and local Parker business owners. The Parker Chamber calls this one of its signature events and it includes a parade, carnival, craft and artisan show, good food, cold beer, and all the regular carnival fare you’d expect. Local businesses and churches also sponsor a young children’s area with face-painting, bounce rooms, and pony rides all at a very reasonable price, and a grand fireworks display acts as a grand finale and kicks off a whole season of summer fun in the growing town.

To purchase tickets, simply click on the link, specify the number of tickets and add them to your shopping cart.

This event could not take place without the help of hundreds of volunteers. Would you like to get involved? There are even openings for adults to man (or woman) the beer tent help in the beer garden, work security, parade help, set up, and tear down literally hundreds of people work together to create the festival magic. Up to the minute, information is always available on the Parker Days Facebook page.
