Nothing is more festive than wandering a winding path glistening with lights that illuminate the Colorado countryside. Trail of Lights returns to Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms from Friday, November 24 through December 10, 2023, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., as well as nightly from December 15 to January 1.
Twinkling lights adorn many of the historical buildings including the schoolhouse, Hildebrand Ranch, farm house and Green Barn.
This year’s trail includes synchronized music in the children’s play area, singing Christmas trees, three-sided light tunnels and more.
Spread throughout expansive property, Trail of Lights offers visitors a choice of paths:
A shorter route takes visitors directly through the children’s play area.
An extended path allows visitors to explore the outside area of the Green Farm Barn and silo before continuing through the children’s area and 1880s homestead.
