Starting Nov. 22 and running through Dec. 31, travelers to downtown Denver will be able to witness a brand-new holiday drone spectacular. This new drone-powered light show will include more than 400 drones taking to the Denver skies, stretching across 400 feet of airspace, 500 feet in the air, for 15 minutes. The shows kick off each night at 7 p.m., with special shows Dec. 2, Dec. 25 and Dec. 31, and will celebrate and depict not only holiday favorite scenery, but also Denver icons such as the Blue Bear and the city’s professional sports teams.
These aren’t the only lights to see during the holiday season in Denver this year, though. Catch the Mile High Tree in Civic Center Park, covered in 60,000 LED lights and taller than the tallest Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in history. Similarly, the Grand Illumination event at Denver Union Station on Nov. 29 will light up the venue’s 40-foot Christmas tree with 7,000 holiday lights. Both Elitch Gardens and Denver Botanic Gardens’ York Street location will offer holiday light events, as well.
