DENVER — Elitch Gardens is preparing to host its holiday event for a third year.
The downtown Denver amusement park will transform into "Luminova Holidays" once again with more than four million lights, a 65-foot Christmas tree, 300-foot candy cane tunnel, Santa Claus and more.
"We are excited to bring Luminova Holidays back to Elitch Gardens for the third consecutive year," said David Dorman, Elitch Gardens General Manager. "With more twinkling lights, more thrilling rides and more yuletide festivities than ever before, the holiday event promises to be a must-see and must-do for both new and returning guests. And now, this year's Luminova Holidays is free for all Season Pass holders making a Season Pass a great gift for now and for 2024!"
The winter wonderland experience was set to open Friday, Nov. 24, but Elitch Gardens said on Facebook it will not be open Friday due to extreme cold weather. It will run most evenings through Sunday, Dec. 31. The event will run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. most nights but opens an hour earlier on Saturdays at 4 p.m.
Some Elitch Garden amusement rides will be open during the event.
Reservations and tickets can be purchased at ElitchGardens.com. Admission is free with a 2023 or 2024 Season Pass. Children ages two and under are free.
