Looking for a true winter wonderland experience?
Grab your coziest furry boots, bundle up the family, and head to Downtown Colorado Springs on Wednesday, Dec. 10 from 5-8 p.m.
This magical evening is the perfect mix of holiday cheer, family fun, and local shopping — right in the heart of the city.
This isn’t just any stroll through Downtown.
Santa Claus will be wandering the shops along Tejon Street (between Boulder and Kiowa) and on Bijou (between Cascade and Nevada),
spreading joy, laughter, and plenty of “ho-ho-hos.”
And where Santa goes, the Grinch isn’t far behind. Expect his signature mischief, dramatic eye rolls, and maybe even a few attempts to
swipe a cookie or two.
You’ll love the hilarious back-and-forth between these two holiday characters.
And make sure to bring your phone fully charged.
Whether your little ones want to hand Santa their wish lists or sneak a side-eye selfie with the Grinch, this is one of the best opportunities of
the season to make memories you’ll treasure.
While you explore, don’t forget to take advantage of the incredible local shopping scene.
Downtown has more than 85 boutiques, shops, and galleries, making it the perfect place to find
thoughtful, unique gifts you won’t find anywhere else.
Jewelry, artwork, cozy clothing, handcrafted treasures — everything that makes holiday gifting feel heartfelt.
Before you step into your first shop, make sure you’ve got your Downtown Holiday Coupon Book in hand.
It’s packed with deals and savings at more than 100 locations throughout the one-square-mile of Downtown.
If you haven’t picked one up yet, visit DowntownCS.com/coupon to see where they’re available.
Moms know a good deal when they see one and this book is practically a holiday superpower.
Here’s a warm tip: Underline is sponsoring a hot chocolate warming station on Tejon Street across from Acacia Park.
Swing by for a sweet treat and warm fingers during your festive adventure.
While you’re in the area, you’ll also get the chance to weigh in on the Elevate Downtown Plan through fun, interactive storyboards.
Big things are on the horizon for our city center, and your voice can help shape what comes next.
And if you want to turn the evening into a full-on holiday outing, you’re in luck.
With more than 130 dining and drinking establishments Downtown, it’s easy to grab a family dinner, a cozy
dessert stop, or even a festive beverage with friends.
The twinkling lights, decorated storefronts, and crisp winter air create a unique holiday atmosphere.
To top it all off, enjoy a live holiday soundtrack from Colorado Brass and talented carolers from the Soli Deo Gloria Choir.
Their music fills the streets with the kind of warmth and nostalgia that makes December feel downright magical.
So bundle up your crew, come hungry for treats and holiday joy, and join us for a night that feels
like pure Christmas charm.
