Vail America Days’ parade is the region’s largest Fourth of July parade. The parade progresses from Golden Peak to Lionshead Mall. The theme for the 2025 Vail parade is “Local Motion.” The parade will include community-organized floats, marching bands and performances including the Denver Broncos Stampede, Colorado State University Select Marching Band and Brothers of Brass from Denver.

Orange Peel Arts, in conjunction with Resort Events, is providing stilt-walkers for the occasion.

Tube to Work Day began in 2008 as a joke between friends Jeff Kagan and Andy Gruel – an audacious quest to see if one could actually commute to East Boulder offices without the use of fossil fuels. Attendance was slow to catch on until 2012 when two other intrepid tubers joined the friends swelling participation to four! Even with minimal participation, the media has always loved/covered the event and notoriety participation jumped each year.
