Full Breakdown

Pueblo Municipal Code § 15-1-16 makes it unlawful to organize a parade, motorcade, or run without a permit from the Chief of Police. Applications must be filed at least 30 days before the event with a $150 fee, and the Chief must approve, condition, or deny the permit at least 15 days before the event based on factors like traffic disruption, police staffing, and conflicts with other scheduled events. Permit holders pay for traffic control personnel and devices, except for the State Fair, Fiesta Day, Kid's Day, and Veterans Day parades, which the City covers. Stationary assemblies that don't move from a starting point to an endpoint are exempt.

Violations & Fines

Organizing a parade without a permit, or violating conduct rules like blocking or driving through a parade, is a Class 2 municipal offense.
