Drive through Christmas lights display announces return to Red Rocks for 2025 season

Fewer places are more iconic in the Denver area than Red Rocks Amphitheatre, so what a perfect setting that would be for Christmas lights, right?

Christmas In Color, a drive through, immersive holiday light experience, is in its 10th year of business. The light display has been in Denver for seven years with locations at places like Water World and the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. This year, it’ll return to Red Rocks for a second time!

Visitors get to check out the lights from the comfort of their vehicle. The lights are synchronized with holiday music that visitors can tune into on their car radio.

The display is about a mile long and takes about 30 to 40 minutes to drive through. You can just drive through the display with a carload of people for $34.99, or you can upgrade and get glasses and glow sticks to enhance for experience for an added cost.

The light display will be open Nov. 28 through Dec. 28. There will also be a second Denver location at Water World. Tickets are on sale now.
