Step into the spirit of the Old West at one of Golden’s most beloved traditions—the Buffalo Bill Days Parade. What began decades ago as a trail ride through town has grown into a vibrant, can’t-miss celebration that brings the entire community together.

​

Each year, Washington Avenue comes alive with a lively procession of horses, vintage cars, creative floats, local businesses, community groups, and first responders—all celebrating the rich Western heritage that defines Golden. With over 70 horses, colorful performances, and hometown pride on full display, the parade offers something for every generation to enjoy.

​

Whether you’re lining the streets with family, cheering on your favorite local groups, or participating in the parade itself, this is your chance to experience the heart of Buffalo Bill Days—where tradition, community, and Western spirit ride side by side.
