Parker’s Holiday Events

Holiday Events in Parker Colorado

By

The historic downtown area of Parker is a step back in time to a kinder gentler world during the holiday season with scenes like this that remind you of Little House on the Prairie, Mayberry, Stars Hollow and Walton’s Mountain. We are OK with that.

Holiday Events for friends and family in Douglas County

There are so many things to do this holiday season in the area, it’s hard to keep track. Hopefully, this list of “things to do” for this weekend will help you to create your new simpler Christmas holiday traditions.  This year many residents are working to reduce the “getting” and increase the giving, not of things necessarily, but your time, attention, and care to those in your life that really matter the most.  Let’s step back to smell the holly instead of rushing from store to store buying things instead of memories.
