The Bridge Gallery , in the rainbow-colored building under the Colorado Avenue bridge at 218 W. Colorado Ave., opens its holiday show, Dangerous Toys , at 5 p.m. Toys features works in sculpture, painting, prints and other mixed media by many well-known area artists. Call the gallery at 329-1574 to learn more. If you're one of those people who prefers to wait until the last minute to get your gifts, skip the art sales and relax to the sounds of the Colorado College Community Choir Winter Concert . This year's theme is African Sanctus, Christmas music by African Americans.
Admission is free.
I can't believe that the Festival of Lights Parade has only been around for 16 years. It's one of those local holiday traditions that seem like they've been going on for generations. All activities are free. Call 385-5990 for more info. After standing out in that cold watching electrified dogs go by, you're going to need something to heat you up.
