The New Denver Fire Department will then lead us through the Orchard, across the bridge at Carpenter Creek, down Slocan Avenue and on to Bosun’s Hall for music, dancing, refreshments, a bonfire and celebration until 9 pm.

Refreshments will be available at the Bosun Hall after the Spark in the Dark Lantern Parade.
