It’s infamous, maybe even notorious as Elk Avenue closes down on July 4th for the wildest, rowdiest 4th of July Celebration in the Rockies. What starts as a traditional Independence Day Parade with an eclectic CB twist, ends in a once experienced, never-forgotten water fight free for all as the CB Fire Dept. rides in.
Stop by the pre and post parade Vendor Village at Elk Ave and 3rd St and cap the perfect day off with Trout Steak Revival at The Alpenglow Concert Series at the Center for the Arts Outdoor Stage at 5:30-7:30 pm AND a fantastic Lazer Light Show from the Red Lady Stage at CBMR Base Area.
