Driving or strolling through a fairyland of outdoor light displays is a holiday treat that costs no more than gasoline or shoe leather. And there’s no place prettier than Denver/Boulder, especially when the snowy backdrop is the real deal. Here’s a list of the best Christmas lights in the area for the 2025 season. Our list includes professional and municipal displays and private homes. Sites confirmed for 2025 are marked 2025.
We’ve put together a Google map for the home lights to make it easier to plot your visits. To see the map, just scroll down past the pictures of the lights.
We’re updating continuously, so send your suggestion for amazing displays to Laura@milehighonthecheap.com (please include the name of the display — if you know it, address and a photo):
Public Displays

Downtown Denver
Christmas is a time when even those most ardent suburbanites come downtown. The opulent light display decorating the City and County Building (at Civic Center Park) from the ground floor to the dome has been a holiday tradition since 1935 and the lighting is spectacular by any measure.
This year, a choreographed holiday show at the City and County Building runs every Tuesday through Sunday for about 8 minutes at 5:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m., and then goes to a static holiday display until 10:45 p.m.
The lights will be on through January 26, 2025.
No shows on Mondays (due to City Council meetings).
There are no shows during the 9NEWS Parade of Lights on December 6.
Also, the City and County Building will remain completely dark for an annual memorial vigil honoring persons experiencing homelessness on Sunday, December 21.
In addition, more than 100,000 lights festoon the trees of the 1.25 mile-long 16th Street. Ride the FREE shuttle and gaze at the magical scene.
Strings of white lights strung across Larimer Street between 14th and 15th Streets provide a brilliant and festive setting for great dining and shopping (window or otherwise).
You may also want to check out the Mile High Tree at the Tivoli Quad at Auraria Campus.
The seven-story tall “tree” features more than 60,000 lights with a light and music show every 15 minutes nightly from November 21 to December 31. You can even step inside the tree. 2025

Private Homes
Self-guided driving tours are a terrific option this holiday season.
All these displays, often synchronized to Christmas music, are put on by regular people, at their own expense, and it takes an incredible amount of time and creativity. So visit and let them know you appreciate it.
Some are collecting money for charitable causes. If a radio station is listed, tune your car radio to that station to listen to the coordinated music. Please be considerate of these folks’ neighbors.
If a website or Facebook page is listed, make sure to visit and check out the hours, start dates, and any additional information that you need to know.
Many homes hope to light up on Thanksgiving or Black Friday, while others may not throw the switch until early December, so be patient and wait a bit if you are planning a longer drive from your home.
You’ll find a map for private home displays at the end of the listings.
We’re looking for more homes to showcase, so if you know of one please email Laura@milehighonthecheap.com with the address, any details and a photo, if you have one.
