Breckenridge is tentatively moving forward with planning for a Fourth of July parade. along with several other traditional town events, but as the vaccination rate increases throughout the county, Breckenridge town officials hope events can start to return, even if there are changes to the events’ operations.
Bringing back the Independence Day parade is the first major event the town has discussed as a possibility for this summer. While the town planned to host its annual Ullr Fest and snow sculpture competition this past winter, the events were canceled in November when the county moved back on the state’s COVID-19 dial due to a spike in cases. Since then, most town events, including the Breck Pride and Mardi Gras festivals, were put on hold.
