Memorial Day Parade

Commerce City hosts Colorado's largest Memorial Day Parade each year, bringing thousands of people from around the region together in our community to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Prior to the parade, the city hosts a Memorial Day Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park.

Join us after the parade for a fun-filled celebration featuring live music, delicious food trucks, and family friendly activities! Kids (and kids at heart) can enjoy a rock wall, face painting, balloon art, and more.

Our 60th Annual Memorial Day Parade is coming up on Monday, May 25, 2026!

Check back on this page soon for more information about registering a parade entry and additional parade details.

We can't wait to see you for one of Commerce City's favorite community traditions!
