Who ushers in the season? Santa…or should we say MANY Santas? Traditionally, the first weekend of December kicks off a festive holiday scene in the streets of Breckenridge. Hundreds of jolly Santa look-alikes will run down Main Street as their magic lights up the city streets, beckoning the holiday season to begin.
On Saturday, December 6th, 2025, this mountain town will once again be transformed into a glittering fairytale village of lights that residents and guests can anticipate enjoying all winter long. Race of the Santas is an event for everyone, young and old, to participate in and enjoy. If you find yourself in Breck for a snowy holiday getaway, try not to miss this delightful boost of holiday cheer.
