Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Even if you were just at the Denver Botanic Gardens to catch the final days of the Chihuly exhibit, there’s no reason to skip your trip to the Blossoms of Light display, because it really does get better each year as the DBG adds more and more lights and features.
Trail of Lights, at the DBG’s Chatfield location, is a more rustic version of what you’ll see at Blossoms of Light, but no less enchanting, with millions of gorgeous, shimmering LEDs that capture the magic of the holidays.
“This year, I think Trail of Lights has the most additions,” says DBG spokeswoman Erin Bird. “They have a holiday photo booth in the warming hut, and complimentary hay rides on Fridays and Saturdays. And both Blossoms of Light and Trail of Lights have new light tunnels draped in lights…. It’s just a great holiday tradition.”
HoloSpex glasses are available at both locations. Both displays are open from 5:30 to 9 p.m. and run through January 1. Admission ranges from $5 for kid members to $12 for adult non-members during peak days. The Denver location is at 1007 York Street, and the Chatfield location is at 8500 West Deer Creek Canyon Road in Littleton. Visit botanicgardens.org for tickets.
