Overnight Camping
If you’re planning to camp overnight along the famous Colorado Boulevard, it is wise to bring a warm jacket, heavy blankets, and a pillow. Do not underestimate sleeping on the boulevard as it will get cold; colder than sleeping in an enclosed environment (as in your bedroom.) Dress up in layers and have some warm fluids handy.
Day of the Parade
- Wear comfortable shoes.
- Bring a seat cushion (those bleachers will be really cold early morning).
- Wear layers. It will be chilly when the parade starts, and it will gradually warm up.
- Bring coffee or tea, water and snacks.
