Kick off the holiday season with some festive culture at Loveland’s Winter Wonderlights, a walkable holiday lighting attraction situated in the award-winning Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra. Launching the weekend before Thanksgiving, guests will be mesmerized as they stroll through the sculpture park, transformed for the holidays. Each night, enjoy holiday string lights, twinkling bulbs, LED mappable snowflakes, illuminated African stone sculptures and 30-minute music and light show every night starting at 5:30 p.m. The light and music show features six total songs and moving lights on the 20’ LED mappable Christmas Tree. Special programming, prize giveaways, the largest inflatable igloo in Colorado and local vendors will be onsite during Friday and Saturday nights Nov. 16 through Dec. 22. Don’t miss the opening night celebration, Nov. 16. A complete listing and schedule of weekend event performances is available at visitlovelandco.org/winterwonderlights.

Holiday shopping is right around the corner. Winter Wonderlights is within walking distance to northern Colorado’s shopping hub with more than 70 shops and restaurants located at The Promenade Shops at Centerra, the MetroLux Movie Theatre and the outdoor Ice Rink. Just minutes away, on the west side of I-25, additional holiday shopping can be found at The Marketplace at Centerra, the Outlets at Loveland and historic downtown Loveland.
