Lighting of Breckenridge + Race of the Santa’s

December 5

Watch town transform into a real-life holiday card thanks to more than 59,000 feet and 250,000 LED holiday lights.

The holidays shine a little brighter in Breckenridge! 🎄✨

The first weekend of December kicks off with the Holiday Dog Parade, where costumed pups prance down Main Street to spread cheer. Then, hundreds of Santas dash through downtown in the Race of the Santas, filling the streets with jingle-bell energy. As evening falls, the town comes alive with the Lighting of Breckenridge, when 11.2 MILES and 250,000 dazzling lights transform Main Street into a glowing winter wonderland. The iconic holiday lights in downtown Breckenridge are one of the most photographed sights during the snowy months and continue to sparkle all winter long.
