This year's Coors Light Denver Pride Parade will take a slightly different route due to construction of the East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. While the starting point remains Cheesman Park, the parade will proceed north on Franklin St., turn west onto 17th Avenue, and conclude at Lincoln St., instead of its usual route on Colfax Ave. The change is intended to prioritize safety and provide a better experience for both participants and spectators.
