Get your cowboy hats and boots ready — the National Western Stock Show is back in town for its 120th year.

This year’s festivities will kick off on Thursday with the annual parade through downtown Denver. Horses and cattle will march from Union Station to 17th Street and Glenarm Place starting at noon. Drivers should seek alternative routes around the parade route. 

After that, the stock show will run through Jan. 25 at the National Western Center in Globeville and Elyria-Swansea.
