**Breckenridge Winter Events***
Race of the Santas and their Sleigh Dogs
Lighting of Breckenridge + Race of the Santas
Breckenridge brings small town holiday charm with the return of Lighting of Breckenridge and Race of the Santas. Hundreds of Santa look-alikes will run down Main Street in a race to kick-off the holiday season. Post-race Santa will flip the switch on more than 59,000 feet (or 11.2 miles!) and 250,000 dazzling LED lights. The iconic holiday lights will continue to sparkle all winter long.
The Ullr Parade is like no other
Ullr Fest
Grab your Viking helmets and honor the Norse god of snow and entice him to bring a powder-filled ski season. The 61st anniversary Ullr Fest, December 12-14, 2024 is a one of a kind Breckenridge! A Main Street parade and the longest Shotski® “unofficial” World Record breaking attempt can be seen nowhere else. Afterwards, the massive bonfire will blow your mind.
Come watch the sculptures being created
International Snow Sculpture Championships
Breckenridge’s 35th Annual International Snow Sculpture Championships kicks off with Sculpting Week: January 20-24 and Viewing Week: January 24-29. This is a world-renowned snow sculpting competition where teams from around the world descend on Breckenridge, Colorado to hand-carve 25-ton blocks of snow into enormous, intricate works of art. Artists are only allowed to use hand tools, creativity and inspiration to bring their ideas to life. No power tools allowed! Teams sculpt countless hours across five days (totaling around 94 hours), resulting in a temporary outdoor art gallery in historic downtown Breckenridge!
