MANITOU SPRINGS — The Manitou Springs Christmas Parade is happening on Sunday, December 8th. The theme will be 'All the Little Helpers.'
News5 is a proud sponsor of this event, and guests can expect to see extravagant floats, colorful lights, and wandering carolers.
The parade will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. It will run on Manitou Ave. from Ruxton Ave. to El Paso Blvd.
Businesses in Manitou Springs will be going all out this year on Christmas decorations! Parade attendees are welcome to grab dinner and look at the decorations before and after the parade.
The United States Marine Corps will also be out actively collecting Toys for Tots during the parade, so feel free to bring a brand-new, unwrapped present to donate.
Parking fills up fast so expect a crowd and show up early.

Businesses along Dublin Boulevard struggling during ongoing construction
Even though the latest city announcements say the end could be near for the Dublin project. For struggling businesses along that roadway, a few more bad days could mean the end for them too.
