Pikes Pick: This Colorado holiday lights show doesn’t cost a dime
Denver’s Civic Center Park comes alive at 5 p.m. each day with light and music shows courtesy of the Mile High Tree. The 110-foot tree appeals to the senses, with loads of color and festive tunes. Plus, it’s free to visit. — Nathan Van Dyne, The Gazette
People view the Mile High Tree, a 110-foot-tall art installation on 16th Street Mall at Welton Street in Denver, Colo., on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2020. The Mile High Tree was created by ILMEX Illumination. The music and light display last around five minutes and will run approximately every 15 minutes. To ensure safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, circles are placed inside the tree for families and groups to stand in during the show to ensure social distancing. (Chancey Bush/ The Gazette)
