Kick off the holiday season with some festive culture at Loveland’s new Winter Wonderlights, a walkable holiday lighting attraction situated in the award-winning Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra. Launching the weekend before Thanksgiving, guests will be mesmerized as they stroll through the sculpture park, transformed for the holidays. Each night, enjoy holiday string lights, twinkling bulbs, LED mappable snowflakes, illuminated African stone sculptures and 30-minute music and light show every night starting at 5 p.m. and at 5:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays Nov. 16 – Dec. 15. The light and music show features six total songs and moving lights on the 20’ LED mappable Christmas Tree. Special programming, the largest inflatable igloo in Colorado and local vendors will be onsite during Friday and Saturday nights from Nov. 16 through Dec. 15. Don’t miss the opening night celebration, Nov. 16. A complete listing and schedule of weekend event performances will be available after Halloween on the website, visitlovelandco.org/winterwonderlights.
