A New Year's Eve Celebration Breckenridge-Style

The Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone, Christmas is right around the corner, and New Year’s Eve will no doubt be here before we know it. Yep—the holiday season is definitely in full swing right now and there’s no time like the present to plan ahead and make this year’s celebration the best yet.

If you didn’t already know, Breckenridge is easily the best place to be of anywhere in the Colorado Rockies on New Year’s Eve. From its beautiful mountain scenery to its overall friendly and laid-back atmosphere, there’s truly nothing like ringing in the new year among friends right here America’s top ski town. This year, lots of fun events and festivities are in store for the last day of 2018, starting with the following:

Torchlight Parade - 6:00 p.m.

An annual tradition that defines New Year’s in Breckenridge, the Torchlight Parade lights up the slopes from the top of Peak 9 all the way down to Main Street. What also makes it unique is that you can actually see it happening from just about anywhere in town.

Breckenridge New Year’s Eve Fireworks - 9:00 p.m.

Following the Torchlight Parade is an awesome fireworks display over Peak 9 that’s always a breathtaking sight to see. If you’re planning to be out on the mountains for the parade, don’t worry—you’ll still have plenty of time to get downtown to enjoy the fireworks and festivities happening around town since the show doesn’t start until 9 p.m.

New Year’s Eve at The Maggie

For our money, this might be the best place to spend New Year’s Eve in Breckenridge. Food and drink specials are offered all night, there’s NO cover charge, and you’ll get to enjoy a pretty awesome view of the Torchlight Parade. A complimentary photo booth and live entertainment will also be part of the fun as well.
