Our 20th Anniversary of the Parade of Ponds & Waterfalls

The 20th Anniversary of the Purely Ponds Parade of Ponds & Waterfalls charity pond and waterfall tour was a remarkable success! It was held Saturday and Sunday June 27th and 28th, 2026. Beautiful hot and windy sunny summer days offered nice weather for pond and waterfall spectators to get out and enjoy viewing these incredible waterscapes.

Proceeds from ticket sales benefited the Boys & Girls Club of the Pikes Peak Region with a matching donation from Purely Ponds & Waterfalls. 

The parade route consisted of 17 residential stops throughout Colorado Springs, Monument, Falcon and the surrounding area. Ponds of various sizes and shapes were showcased along with many trendy spring fountains, streams and pondless waterfalls. These ecologically balanced waterscapes offered an experience in tranquility and soothing sounds of the water with a peaceful panorama of the naturalistic water gardens.
