The Breck Wire - November

Lighting of Breckenridge and Race of the Santas

Date: December 8, 2018
Main Street & Blue River Plaza

Jessie Unruh GoBreck

Head down to Main Street to see the magical transformation of Breckenridge into a glittering, festive, holiday scene. As a local’s favorite holiday-themed event, don't miss and, in fact, join in with the countless reindeers (kids under 12) and Santas as they cruise down Main Street signaling the kick-off to the holiday season.

Starting at 3pm with the Make Your Own Ornament, the afternoon quickly transforms as the dogs take to the street to show off their most inventive holiday costume, followed by the Reindeer Run at 4:20pm, and then the Race of the Santas at 4:30pm. 

Directly following the mob of Santas is the Lighting of Breckenridge. The bonafide Kris Kringle makes a special trip to his favorite mountain town and flips the switch on the impressive light show that encompasses Blue River Plaza and our massive Town Tree.

New Year’s Eve Celebration

Date: December 31, 2018
Events starting at 6pm

GoBreck

A true mountain town classic, the Torchlight Parade caravans down from the top of Peak 9 towards the village in an incredible spectacle that all should view at least once in their lifetime. Able to be seen from many viewpoints around town, our best recommendation for the prime viewing location and ability to take advantage of all evening’s festivities is at Maggie Pond (at Main Street Station, Village Base Area).

Duck into one of the local Main Street Station establishments or head to Main Street for dinner post-Torchlight Parade to pass the time till round two amps up. The incredible show takes place in front of the backdrop of the Breckenridge Ski Resort. Fireworks will begin at 9PM and are viewable pretty much anywhere in town. After the light show, don't miss one of the countless parties and specials happening around Main Street.
