Durango welcomed the 44th Annual Snowdown, featuring a Shakespearean theme, beginning on Friday, Jan. 27 and ending on Sunday Feb. 5, with participation from multiple businesses in Durango, Colo. and surrounding areas. Durango’s Main Avenue filled with spectators, Friday, Feb. 3, to get a view of this year’s Snowdown Parade, featuring dancers, bands, local law enforcement and floats entered by area businesses. The winter celebration takes place annually, Snowdown is made possible by the generosity and creativity of hundreds of local businesses and community members who help to create events each year.
Dancers led the parade wearing their best brocade and billowing dresses, a dancer smiles before tossing her LED batons into the air — putting on a show for spectators lined up along Main Ave.
The local brewery, Ska Brewing Co. featured their best brews in costume as they paraded down on the corner of Main Ave. and College Dr., the group also played upbeat music and handed out candy to the many spectators lining the street.
Many floats featured hot air balloon baskets, keeping spectators wowed and warm. Despite freezing temperatures, this year’s parade still packed the streets of downtown Durango. Winners for this year’s parade were announced at the Main Mall on 8th Ave. following this year’s successful event.
