Lighting of Breckenridge
12/6/2025
About Lighting of Breck & Race of the Santas
The first weekend of December kicks off with the Holiday Dog Parade, where costumed pups prance down Main Street to spread cheer. Then, hundreds of Santas dash through downtown in the Race of the Santas, filling the streets with jingle-bell energy. As evening falls, the town comes alive with the Lighting of Breckenridge, when 11.2 MILES and 250,000 dazzling lights transform Main Street into a glowing winter wonderland. The iconic holiday lights in downtown Breckenridge are one of the most photographed sights during the snowy months and continue to sparkle all winter long.
