This weekend marks the beginning of one of the most beloved times in Golden, and it all kicks off with the Golden Candlelight Walk!
(See below for road closures)
Join friends and neighbors at the Foothills Art Center for a walk down Washington Street. The image of thousands of candles filling the street is one you won't soon forget, and neither is that of all the lights on Clear Creek coming on in the ceremony that follows the annual walk! Then don't forget, the next day will be the first Olde Golden Christmas Parade.
Keep reading for a look at everything else happening in Golden, and have a great week!

CodeRed Emergency Notification System Testing Scheduled for Dec. 4
Jefferson and Broomfield Counties emergency services agencies, including law enforcement, fire and EMS, will test their emergency notification system CodeRED on Monday, December 4.
Starting at 9 a.m., the CodeRED emergency notification system will begin making test notifications on all landlines, as well as registered cell phones and emails. This process is expected to take several hours due to the large number of notifications.
The CodeRED system is used by emergency services agencies in Jefferson and Broomfield counties to help disseminate information regarding critical incidents. In addition to Jefferson and Broomfield counties, there will be portions of Adams and Clear Creek Counties included in the CodeRED notification.
Landlines are automatically included in CodeRED notifications, but residents and businesses are encouraged to visit the CodeRED registration web site at your911.net to add additional contact information, including additional cell phone numbers, SMS (text) and email address preferences. Residents may also elect to receive severe weather notifications.
Registration is especially important for those addresses without a landline, as individuals must register if they want to receive emergency notifications.

- The Gateway Village pump station communications are up. This means that the new water infrastructure that has been built to supply the Gateway Village development (Avalanche Harley and others) is being integrated into the rest of Golden's system so that it can be controlled and operated from the water plant. The City is working with the vendor to get the controls configured for our SCADA system and to get a new antenna installed this week.
