Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

Arvada celebrates the holidays with old-world markets, light extravaganzas, skating, and historic charm, offering a nostalgic Northwest Denver vibe just minutes from the city core. With 15+ years in Denver real estate and experience guiding clients to Arvada homes alongside Littleton real estate and Highlands Ranch properties, I’ve recommended these events to help families dive into Colorado housing market communities and create seasonal memories.

Arvada’s Classic Holiday Events

The Arvada Holiday Festival at Majestic View Park features tree lighting, live reindeer, Santa’s workshop, and fireworks—free mid-December evening with shuttle service. Olde Town Arvada hosts the Christkindlmarket with German mulled wine, crafts, and choirs in a heated tent, echoing European traditions.

Majestic View Nature Center offers family crafts and animal encounters.

Light Shows and Neighborhood Wonders

Stenger Sports Complex runs the Winter Wonderland drive-through—synchronized lights, tunnels, and music ($25/car). Ralston Creek Trail glows with lantern-lit walks and bonfires.

Neighborhoods like Historic Olde Town coordinate progressive lighting tours; join caroling hayrides.

Skating and Cultural Gems

Arvada Center’s ice rink hosts public holiday skates with cocoa ($12/session). The Arvada Center for Arts presents “A Christmas Carol” with live theater—tickets $30+, perfect for date nights.

Day trips: 20 minutes to Denver Union Station lights or 40 to Georgetown’s Victorian holiday trains.

Practical Advice for Arvada Holidays

Layer for 20°F nights; book theater/rink online. Pair events with Arvada open houses—festive neighborhoods sell fast in Denver real estate. Shop local for wreaths at farmers markets. Ward Rd traffic peaks weekends—use McIntyre St. Free parking downtown; family bundles save on lights.

These gatherings capture Arvada’s historic warmth—many clients become long-term friends returning annually.
