Gold Camp Christmas Weekend – Cripple Creek, CO | 2022 December Holiday Festivities

If you’re longing for an old-fashioned Christmas, look no further than Gold Camp Christmas Weekend! The holiday season will be kicked off in style with the nightly Gold Camp Christmas Holiday Headframe Lighting, followed by a Winter Wonderland experience every weekend throughout the holiday season at the Cripple Creek District Museum.

Occurring on Friday and Saturday, December 9th-10th, 2022, enjoy a slow drive through a lighted wonderland, turn on your favorite Christmas tunes, sip some hot chocolate and enjoy a self-guided tour through the large Christmas lights display that is just waiting to be explored.

Giant headframes still standing from the town’s 1890s gold mining days light up the evening sky with holiday ornaments as large as 20 feet tall. Move slowly. Take in the crisp, mountain air and sing Christmas carols at the top of your lungs until you find yourself full of old-fashioned Christmas cheer.
