NEW IN 2008 – Trail of Lights

Posted November 17, 2008 by Robin Doerr, Director of Marketing, P.R. and Special Events

Hey, we won’t let a little thing like construction of a new parking structure and Bonfils-Stanton Visitor Center get in the way of providing Denver with the best holiday light display in the country. We just moved the event to Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield for the 2008 holiday season.

With the Colorado foothills as a backdrop, more than one million twinkling lights will illuminate the beauty of a charming forest path at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.

A children’s play area – including a treehouse – will be included along the trail path. Tour a restored 1880s homestead that will be decorated in a charming Colorado country Christmas motif. Hot cocoa and other refreshments will be sold to ward off the chill during the walk through the Gardens’ trail. Holospex 3-D glasses, which have been very popular at the Gardens’ York Street location, will be available for just $1. Lots of free parking is available.

For the city-spirited, Blossoms of Light will return to Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street in 2009.

If you are a member of the Gardens, come on by on December 2nd for the FREE member preview.
