Lighting of Breckenridge
2022-12-03 17:00
HANG OUT POST-RACE TO WATCH THE TOWN TRANSFORM INTO A REAL LIFE HOLIDAY CARD THANKS TO MORE THAN 13,000 FEET AND 250,000 LED HOLIDAY LIGHTS.

HOW MANY LIGHTS ARE IN THE LIGHTING OF BRECKENRIDGE?
During the lighting of the town tree, the real Santa will emerge and illuminate nearly 250,000 LEDs throughout Breckenridge’s Blue River Plaza. That’s more than 50 lights for each Town of Breckenridge resident. If strung end to end, the lights could reach from downtown Breckenridge to tippy top of the highest chairlift in North America, the Imperial Express, almost four times. By using some of the most energy-efficient lights available, the town of Breckenridge saves approx. 155,663 kWh of electricity. That’s enough to power a Tesla around the earth’s circumference approx.17 times.

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO PARK?
The most convenient free parking will be at the Airport Road lot, which will be serviced by Breck FreeRide Red Route. The Tiger Dredge, Wellington, and East Sawmill lots are FREE after 3 p.m. Visit BreckPark.com for in-town parking options and rates. Breckenridge residents are encouraged to carpool, bus, bike and walk into town to avoid additional congestion.

ARE PETS ALLOWED AT LIGHTING OF BRECKENRIDGE?
YES! Dogs who have made Santa’s nice list are welcome to parade down Main Street in Breckenridge’s Holiday Dog Parade. Registration info coming soon.

International Snow Sculpture Championships • Carving Week
2024-01-22 - 2024-01-26
Please visit “GoBreck” for more information!

(From the GoBreck website)
Breckenridge’s International Snow Sculpture Championships is a world-renowned snow sculpting competition where teams from around the world descend on Breckenridge, Colorado to hand-carve 25-ton blocks of snow into enormous, intricate works of art. Artists are only allowed to use hand tools, creativity and inspiration to bring their ideas to life. No power tools allowed! Teams sculpt countless hours across five days (totaling around 94 hours), resulting in a temporary outdoor art gallery in historic downtown Breckenridge!

Join us at the 2024 International Snow Sculpture Championships

Sculpting Week: January 22-26, 2024
Viewing Week: January 26-31, 2024

We encourage spectators to view the sculptures Sunday, Jan. 28 – Wednesday, Jan. 31 when reservations are not required. The sculpture viewing area will be closed at 7:00pm on January 31
