There are a couple Holiday events coming up this month to check out… Parade of Lights we skipped because BRRR! but the weather is looking up this weekend (up from 6 degrees anyways). So, consider checking out 303 Magazine’s I heart Denver window display walk (click image for more info).

Also starting this weekend and running through January: Zoo Lights! Here are a couple of the “special zoo light events”:

- Santa at Zoo Lights: Dec. 11 – 23, 5 to 9 pm.
- Wild Ice (ice carvings & fire dancing): Dec. 11 – 17
- Kwanzaa: Dec. 26 – 27
- Zoo Year’s Eve: Dec. 31

The Zoo lights are $6 for members/$8 for adults and a few less bucks for kids & seniors.

Christmas Deals

Downtown Pavilions has a couple of Christmas deals I wanted to share:

Free gift wrap, and free delivery: Take your packages purchased at Denver Pavilions with your receipts to PostNet, located on Level 1 in the South Plaza for free gift wrap and free delivery in Downtown.

Also get a dinner and a movie gift certificate after purchasing $250 at retailers in one day at Denver Pavilions. Dinner and a movie certificates are redeemable at PostNet on Level 1, South Plaza.

And a good cause: Weekends in December from 1-5pm, inside the Barkin’ Boutique and Bakery. Santa is coming to town and he’d love to meet you and your pet! Why not say “Happy Holidays” while helping homeless pets? With a $10 donation to the Denver Dumb Friends League you will receive a photo of Santa and your cherished companion animal. Santa will visit our downtown location inside the Barkin’ Boutique and Bakery.

Also, if you’re looking to shop in Larimer Square, be sure to go here for free parking sign-up. It’s only good for one day but not a bad deal.

Also in Larimer Square, a Christmas Eve celebration from 10 am to 5 pm – inc. free parking and free carriage rides downtown.

Denver gets Pretty

It’s that time of year when the city gets decorated and I love walking around on 16th street mall & the downtown area because it’s so pretty & festive!

The GRAND illumination is coming up on November 28th. Starts at 6 pm at Union Station, and ends at the City & County Building around 6:45 pm.

Both stay lit thru mid-January.

Also, the parade of lights is just around the corner. Friday, December 5th at 8 pm or Saturday, December 6th at 6 pm. Starts in front of Civic Center Park and the City & County Building on Bannock Street at 14th Avenue. If you don’t want to brave the cold, just catch it on Channel 9 on the fifth.
