Christmas has been and gone for another year, but the festive spirit is still alive and well in Denver with many popular holiday events still happening for a little while yet.

Not ready to say goodbye to the festive season just yet? Read on to find out which holiday events are still up and running around Denver.

Trail of Lights at Chatfield Farms

The holiday season is here!

We kicked off the season this past weekend with a new to us event, Trail of Lights at Chatfield Farms.

Trail of Lights has long been a favorite with Colorado families, so I’m excited that we finally got a chance to check it out for ourselves.

Have you been to Chatfield Farms before? Chatfield Farms in Littleton is the second location of Denver Botanic Gardens (the first being the main gardens on York Street in Denver) and features a working farm and native plant refuge spanning some 700 acres. While the over all area of Chatfield Farms is significantly larger than the main Botanic Gardens campus, the Trail of Lights event is contained within a much smaller area, making it a great alternative to Blossoms of Lights for families with young children, or those who prefer a quieter stroll through twinkling lights.

Let’s take a look… 

Blossoms of Lights at Denver Botanic Gardens 2024

Denver's most magical holiday event is back!

Blossoms of Light at Denver Botanic Gardens is one of Denver's most beloved holiday events.

The actual blossoms may be long gone for the Winter season and many of the trees may be bare, but there is plenty of color on display thanks to millions of twinkling lights that set the gardens aglow.
