Halloween on South Broadway in Denver is more than a parade — it's a tradition woven into the heart of our community.
Every year, neighbors, artists, and little ones count down the days... Pouring their passion and creativity into something truly magical.
The floats that drift down Broadway aren't your typical walking advertisements - they're labors of love, built by real people who care deeply about bringing joy to those who line the streets.
This is a celebration that belongs to all of us. Your support keeps tradition alive - come be a part of the magic.

West Wash Park Tree Walk
First West Wash Park Tree Walk
Saturday, September 12, 2026 | 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM | NW Corner of Penn and Virginia
With the help of The Park People (theparkpeople.org) and
other experts, we'll reveal a short list of trees better suited
for Denver's increasingly hot and dry climate and the stress
of urban living in our fragile forest canopy.
Then, we'll ask our West Washington Park neighbors to
nominate, from the list, their own trees as great examples.
Candidates will be chosen to become sites as part of next year's
6th Annual West Wash Park Neighborhood History and Garden Walk,
on Saturday, September 11, 2027, for admiration and inspiration.

Summer Harvest Market - West Wash Park Community Garden
Visitors to the WWPCG Harvest Market will be able to browse a variety of donated, garden-inspired items. Offerings may include fresh organic vegetables, produce and flower bouquets directly from the garden, homemade baked goods, jams, jellies, pickles, preserves, fermented foods, sourdough starters, fresh and dried herbs, tea blends, spice mixes, and handmade creations.
Unlike a traditional farmers market, the Summer Harvest Market is a community garden fundraiser. Garden members are donating produce, flowers, homemade goods, and handmade items to be sold collectively by WWPCG. Proceeds will support the garden budget for things like future improvements at the garden, with 40% this first year being donated to nonprofit organization(s) that helps connect fresh, homegrown produce with local families experiencing food insecurity.

Wash Park Running Company Launch and Community Run
Wash Park Running Company is an online running boutique. We source high-quality, eco-friendly gear and have a small one-of-one upcycled collection. This brand was created to celebrate the running culture, neighborhood traditions, and people that make the park a special community.
In addition to sourcing products with less impact, we are also dedicated to giving back. We donate 10% of profits to local charities. This year, 2026, we are donating to the Food Bank of the Rockies.
Our soft launch collection features a running hat, tote bag, and one-of-one upcycled items. Our official launch includes men's and women's technical running shirts, women's athletic tank tops, unisex casual t-shirts, tote bags, and a restock of runner hats (our women's hats sold out on the first day!).
Our official launch is on June 20 at 7 AM. We are hosting an 8-mile community run starting at Roast Coffee on Mississippi and Pearl. Everyone is welcome! We have pace groups for 7min/mi through 12+min/mi and a stroller group
