Every year, downtown Monument, Colorado throws what we’re convinced is the best small-town Fourth of July parade in the country. And in 2025, we had skin in the game — Monument Glamping entered a float, and it came home with the Best Float ribbon. (You can watch it here: .)
This year, the Fourth is a once-in-a-lifetime version of itself.
July 4th, 2026 falls on a Saturday, which means a true holiday weekend rather than a midweek scramble. It’s also America’s 250th birthday — the semiquincentennial — an anniversary most of us will only see once. Between the Saturday timing and the milestone, this is shaping up to be the biggest Independence Day Monument has hosted in years.
Which is why our booking calendar surprised us.
The next couple of June weekends are nearly full. But the 4th of July weekend — the single highest-demand weekend of the year — still has openings as of this writing. We don’t expect that to stay true for long, and we’d rather see our neighbors and returning guests grab those spots than watch them vanish overnight.
Here’s why Monument Glamping is the spot for this particular weekend. We sit just 2 miles from the parade route. You can take in the whole celebration downtown, then come back to your own private safari tent or container home — a real bed, your own deck, your own fire pit, and your own private hot tub — without fighting for parking or packing up a campsite. It’s private-property glamping, not a crowded campground: your own space to land after a full day of flags, fireworks, and small-town tradition.
That combination — a legendary parade, the 250th, a Saturday holiday, and a private retreat two miles away — is exactly the kind of weekend people plan trips around. The only strange part is that the rooms aren’t gone yet.
