Douglas County Fair Parade - 2026

Celebrate the Douglas County Fair Parade in downtown Castle Rock, presented by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Town of Castle Rock. Parade starts on the south end of Town, and flows down Wilcox St. to 4th St., to Perry St., and ends at 2nd St. This year’s parade will feature an exciting, expanded theme - “America 250/Colorado 150” In addition to the traditional western flair, we’ll be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 150th anniversary of the State of Colorado.
