The Pikes Peak or Bust Parade Committee is deeply grateful for the extraordinary outpouring of community support received since Friday’s announcement. Thanks to the generosity of local donors and partners, we are pleased to announce that the parade will move forward as planned on Saturday, July 11.

For more than 80 years, the Pikes Peak or Bust Parade has celebrated the Western heritage of the Pikes Peak Region while bringing our community together around traditions that continue to define Colorado Springs. 

We extend our sincere appreciation to UCHealth, AMR, and Colorado National Bank for their generous financial support. We are also grateful to City Council President Lynette Crow-Iverson, Wayne Williams, Chief of Staff to Mayor Yemi Mobolade, and City Council Member Brandy Williams for their leadership, advocacy, and commitment to helping ensure the parade could continue.

The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, the Western Street Breakfast, and the parade remain enduring examples of our community’s commitment to preserving Western heritage and supporting the thousands of military families who call Colorado Springs home. This renewed support reflects the very spirit of partnership and community that these traditions were created to celebrate.

Registration is back open for all events. The deadline to register as a parade entry has been extended through July 3, 2026.
