Hotels near Blossoms of Light at Denver Botanic Gardens

Blossoms of Light turns the York Street gardens of Denver Botanic Gardens into a glowing winter landscape, with lights wrapped around trees, shrubs and sculptures. It is one of the most popular holiday events in the city and a favourite with families and couples.

Visitors follow a walking route through the gardens, with themed light displays, warm drinks and seasonal treats along the way. Entry is by timed ticket, and the event usually runs from late November into early January.

The gardens are a short drive or bus ride from downtown Denver, so the trail combines easily with an evening at the Denver Christmas market.

Pro Tip: Book a weekday time slot as soon as tickets go on sale, as weekends and the days around Christmas sell out early. Dress for cold, as the trail is entirely outdoors.
