Boulder transforms into a glittering wonderland of lights and holiday cheer during the winter months. Nothing warms the heart like strolling down a quiet street that's coated in a blanket of snow and illuminated by hundreds of lights. Here are some of our favorite ways to embrace Boulder’s festive, twinkly magic.

There are a variety of free and paid activities, including horse-drawn carriage rides, complete with cozy blankets and hot chocolate; a tree lighting ceremony; a festive market; and visits to Santa’s cottage.

One of the underrated places to visit in Boulder is a place called North Boulder Park. This park is often visited by locals in the summer, especially those with families, because there’s a fantastic playground in the park that’s perfect for kids. However, come winter, North Boulder Park becomes the perfect place for cross country skiing! This is a ...
For a great walk in the winter while visiting Boulder, take a walk along the Boulder Creek Path. It’s perfect whether you are visiting during a snowy time of winter or a dryer time; just make sure you dress appropriately. The weather in Colorado can be pretty unpredictable sometimes! The path is relatively long, about 9 miles or so from start to fi...
If you’ve been to Denver before, then you’ve most likely gone shopping on the 16th Street Mall! This is one of the main shopping areas in the city. Pearl Street is the same thing, but with more local shops! Along Pearl Street, you can find top-rated restaurants, breweries, stores, cafes, and more. Almost anything you can think of, you can probably ...
Sledding is an absolute must in the winter, and thanks to Boulder’s proximity to the mountains, you can go sledding while visiting. Plus, if you need a sled, you can buy one at the local shops or the grocery store, King Sooper’s. Tantra Park may just look like a regular old park during the rest of the year, but it becomes a true winter wonderland i...
No trip to Colorado is complete without skiing. The best ski resort right near Boulder is called Eldora Mountain Resort. Because Boulder doesn’t technically have its own ski resort, this is where all of the locals go. This ski resort has mostly intermediate runs and a decent amount of beginner, advanced, and expert trails for skiers and snowboarder...
Another fantastic event to attend in Boulder in winter is one called Snow Much Fun! This event is perfect for all ages and is the best way to see a whole bunch of holiday lights, similar to the ones that you would see in Denver. Snow Much Fun in 2020 was a bit different than usual, but the event typically includes certain parts of the town being de...
A fun winter tradition is to see The Nutcracker, and the same is true when visiting Boulder. You can attend the show with the Boulder Philarmonic, put on by the Boulder Ballet. It usually only occurs on set dates during the winter, so you’ll want to plan for this event and book your tickets in advance. Sometimes the dates are in November, and somet...
Going to festivals around the holidays (especially ones that are all about the holidays) serves as the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. So, why not go to Colorado Chautauqua WinterFest? When you think of the word WinterFest, you probably initially think that it’s a bunch of winter-related activities, and you’d be right. WinterFest is an ...
The Flatirons are the mountain range that makes Boulder so popular. They’re part of the Rocky Mountains and are genuinely one of the most iconic parts of the mountain range, too, which is why so many people like to visit Boulder. While you may think that the mountains must only be accessible in the summer or warmer months, they’re open to visitors ...
Arguably the best spot for breakfast (besides Foolish Craig’s Cafe) is Snooze, an A.M. Eatery. This is a small chain restaurant known for its breakfast, and they have quite a few locations across Colorado. At Snooze, you can get almost any breakfast that you can imagine. From waffles to eggs benedict to huge breakfast burritos, Snooze has it all. K...

- 16th Street Mall of Denver. Outlying Areas. Love to shop but don't really care for all the walking involved? Never fear! 16th Street Mall of Denver offers a free trolly service that you will take you up and down the mall from store-to-fabulous store.
- Parade of Lights. Local businesses, schools, churches and many more participate in downtown Boulder's holiday shebang. This year, the parade will be held on December 5th at 6pm.
