It's the most wonderful time of the year! If you live in or are planning to visit Denver this holiday season, you are in for a truly magical treat, as there is so much to see and do during this most colorful time of the year. If you are looking for things to do in Denver that are suitable for the entire family, we recommend watching The Nutcracker, taking in the festive Christkindl Market, and then checking out the dazzling 110-foot-tall Mile High Christmas Tree. It's an experience you won't soon forget!
On display from Nov. 17 –Dec. 31, 2023, the Mile High Christmas Tree is the tallest digital tree in America and is a can't-miss this holiday season.
Located at the Denver Performing Arts Complex's Sculpture Park, the Mile High Tree is the poster child for "larger than life," as it reaches an incredible 110 feet tall and spans a whopping 39 feet wide, which can easily fit 140 guests at a time!
As if you needed more than just the vibrant lights themselves to inspire a visit, the Mile High Tree boasts all of your favorite holiday tunes, which play in-sync with the lights every half hour and on the hour.
In addition to Christmas songs, the tree plays traditional Hannukah and Kwanzaa tunes, both of which are also beautifully choreographed to the jaw-dropping light show.
Do you need another reason to visit the Mile High Tree? Located around the tree are several gigantic ornaments, snowflakes, and other colorful decorations, perfect for your annual holiday card.
Don't worry about visiting in the cold of the night, as there are fireplaces scattered about to keep you warm!
