The holidays are a magical season filled with cheer, beauty, and fun experiences. Many venues embrace this spirit by offering holiday-themed events and activities. In fact, the winter months are packed with concerts, markets, and Santa-related attractions.
There are so many Downtown Denver events to choose from, whether you’re looking for a family-friendly outing or a cute date idea. To provide some inspiration, here are six diverse events to share with loved ones.
1. Mile High Tree
Open all season long, Nov. 30 – Jan. 31, 2020, the new Mile High Tree is free every evening in Sculpture Park at the Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC).
The Mile High Tree is a ginormous, 39-foot sculpture that hosts up to 140 guests at a time. Every 30 minutes there will be a lights and music show on the hour and half hour. Stop by for a fun, new experience during the holidays.
2. Camp Christmas at Stanley Marketplace
If you’re a die-hard Christmas fan, you’ll probably enjoy this holiday extravaganza. From Nov. 21 through Jan. 5, Christmas takes over Stanley Marketplace in many forms.

This gorgeous display has become a tradition at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The entire venue is decorated with Christmas lights, adding a festive layer to the natural beauty already present.
