Denver’s longest-running holiday lights walk is back at Denver Botanic Gardens’ York Street location from Friday, Nov. 20, 2026 through Sunday, Jan. 10, 2027. Blossoms of Light runs nightly from 4:30 to 9 p.m., closed only on Thanksgiving (Nov. 26) and Christmas Day, and the Gardens say the loop through the lit grounds takes about 60 to 75 minutes.
Tickets are timed and sold only through the Gardens’ own site, with no door sales. Members get a presale by level from Nov. 4 to 6, and public sales open Monday, Nov. 9 at 10 a.m. As of Oct. 22 the Gardens listed ticket prices as TBA; we will add them when they post. Everyone over age 2 needs a ticket, and you can arrive up to 30 minutes after the time printed on it. Date changes cost $5 up to 72 hours ahead (free for members). A sensory-friendly night with limited capacity is set for Tuesday, Dec. 1, from 5 to 8 p.m.
