Gardens on Spring Creek Continues Holiday Tradition with Garden of Lights

Santa Returns to Garden of Lights

The Gardens on Spring Creek (The Gardens) will host its annual Garden of Lights event from December 10 – 26 with entry times 5 – 9 pm nightly, with the exception of December 25.

Join The Gardens for one of Northern Colorado’s favorite holiday traditions! Stroll through our whimsical, twinkling winter wonderland– a half-mile loop of illuminated flower beds, huge sculptural flowers, grapevines, butterflies, holiday village, and other favorite garden creatures. All constructed of more than 200,000 LED lights!

This year’s event will feature the return of Santa, who will visit nightly through December 23, and other rotating holiday entertainment, such as the Sugar Plum Furries Dog Troupe, LED Circus Entertainers, and holiday carolers. Keep warm with our full bar with festive holiday drinks available nightly, and the Kaleidoscope Café will be open on select nights.
