Lighting of Breckenridge & Race of the Santas

December 05, 2015

The first weekend in December, the town transforms into a sparkling holiday scene.

Participate in the Race of the Santas, where 100’s of Santas race down Main Street to benefit Adopt an Angel, and continue the festivities with the Lighting of Breckenridge, where Santa greets holiday revelers from his horse-drawn carriage.

Join local businesses for the Breckenridge Arts Experience, dedicated to the Seven Arts: visual, performing, culinary, publishing, design, film & media and heritage.

When it’s time to ring out the old, live music, bar parties and special restaurant menus punctuate New Year’s Eve celebrations, accompanied by a torchlight parade down the slopes of Breckenridge Ski Resort.

Schedule:

Saturday, Dec 5, 2015: Race of the Santas/Race of the Reindeer
Join us as 100’s of holiday enthusiasts of all ages, dressed in festive costumes, race down historic Main Street, Breckenridge.
