OLDE GOLDEN CHRISTMAS
Downtown Golden Colorado
Howdy Folks Welcome to Golden
Every
Saturday between Thanksgiving and Christmas the Chamber of Commerce hosts
special Christmas events all day in the downtown area. Each Saturday starts with
a parade. The parades last about half an hour and include Santa Claus, local
bands, local businesses, local scout troops, etc. The Saturdays go on to include
strolling musicians along Washington Avenue, free horse-drawn carriage rides,
and tasty treats provided by the stores. It's fun, and it really does make
Christmas shopping in downtown Golden even more appealing

720.898.7200 CANDLELIGHT WALK
Downtown Golden Colorado
Clear Creek River View
This event
started many years ago when a hundred or so locals gathered near the Foothills
Art Center to walk down Washington Avenue carrying candles and singing Christmas
songs. Word has spread throughout town, and now thousands show up, still
carrying candles and still singing, and still walking downhill from Foothills to
the Creek. When the group reaches the Creek, the Mayor flips a switch and all of
the holiday lights along Clear Creek go on, eliciting gasps of admiration and
much applause. Many groups participate in this event: there are crafts and
campfires at the Clear Creek History Park, roasted chestnuts and music at the
Pioneer Museum, musical performances at the Rotary Amphitheater (on the Creek,
behind the fire station), reindeer to be petted at the Visitors Center. All in
all, it's kind of a short (2 or 3 hour long) winter carnival. This event occurs
on a Friday night--generally the last in November or the first in December.
SKATE THE LAKE WINTER FESTIVAL
December 31, 2011 - 6PM - Midnight
Evergreen Colorado Lake
The Annual SKATE the LAKE Winter Festival has been a New Year's Eve
tradition since 1996. Winter Festival offers ice-skating, fireworks,
fire barrel bonfires, sleigh rides, food, music and ice games such as
pick-up hockey and broom-stick hockey along with games/ activities (jump
castles, face painting), lots of food vendors, music and dancing all on
firm ground!
The spectacular fireworks display will be lit over the ice – not just at
midnight but first at 8:00 p.m. for the youngsters in the crowd. Once
you've experienced it, you will always remember how magical it is.
ICE SKATE RENTALS ARE LIMITED. Please plan on bringing your own skates,
if at all possible. If you do choose to rent skates, try to arrive
early. Skate rentals are by the hour. We will post current rental rates
just prior to this year's event.
Skate the Lake Winter Festival is a non-alcohol event, geared to
families and those who wish to ring in the New Year safely, without a
hang-over. The event is open from 6 pm to 12 midnight, New Year's Eve.
