The holiday season is a time that’s ripe with traditions, and for nearly three decades, the Eagle community has ushered in December with its Christmas on Broadway celebration.

The 29th annual event is planned for Saturday, Dec. 1, in downtown Eagle.

A nighttime lighted parade is the centerpiece of the celebration and participants will march down Broadway at 5:30 p.m. The parade starts at Second Street and concludes at Town Park, where kids can visit Santa’s workshop set up at the Fifth Street ECO bus shelter – sponsored by Alpine Bank.

Candy will not be thrown along the parade route, but beginning at 5 p.m. kids can stop by the Peppermint Station set up at the corner of Third Street and Broadway to get a free bag of sweets, sponsored by Berkshire Hathaway Colorado Properties.

Following the parade, a bonfire, live music and other entertainment is planned at Eagle Town Park, downtown businesses staying open for special shopping hours.
