City of Creede, A Colorado Town

06/23/2026

Come celebrate Independence Day in Creede, Colorado!

No fireworks? No problem!

The fireworks may be off the schedule, but the PARTY is still on. After all, we're celebrating 250 years of America and 150 years of Colorado - so you know we're going BIG!

Join us in Creede for a full day of family fun, community spirit, and small-town magic, including:

>> The BIGGEST parade in Creede history... maybe even the biggest in Colorado!
>> Live Music Around Town

>> Shopping & Local Eats
>> Chalk Drawing on Main Street
>> Beer Garden in Basham Park
>> Mining Competition
>> Food & Art Vendors

>> FREE shuttles from the event parking area straight to downtown from 7am - 5pm

>> Night life: Bar hop down Main Street and finish at Tommyknocker Tavern where you're sure to dance the night away. Looking for something more family-friendly? Grab some glow sticks, a scoop of ice cream, and stroll through town with a book of Creede's ghost stories or local art to experience the history and charm that make Creede unique.

>>And plenty of surprises throughout the day!

The 4th of July in Creede has always been about more than fireworks. It's about community, tradition, patriotism, and celebrating everything that makes this town so special. So come EARLY and see it all for yourself - and let's make this a celebration for the history books!

Through traffic will be available on Main Street, however, we ask residents and visitors to please drive carefully through and around town. Have a great weekend!

The City is planning Phase 1 remodel to remove the girls and boys locker room and construct a large room for a variety of community uses. The given name of the room is important to acknowledge a visionary or representative label recognizing Creede. We would like to avoid using the term Community Room to avoid confusion with Mineral County's Community Center or any other destination. This survey will be available June 17 to August 15, 2026. The Board of Trustees will review all survey input and make a final decision on August 18, 2026. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6RDFK5Y
