Thanksgiving | November 26th, 2015
Why not spend Thanksgiving with the family and enjoy the start of the holidays in the Town of Breckenridge? Enjoy a calmer, peaceful holiday with lots of activities that will make your stay memorable. As the mountain continues to be blessed with snow, Breckenridge Ski Resort will continue to open more terrain. Beautiful historic Main Street will awaken your holiday spirit.

Race of the Santas | December 5th, 2015 | 4:15 p.m.
Dress up as Santa for a great cause. This annual charitable event raises money for "Adopt an Angel", helping families in the community provide gifts to their children who would not otherwise be able to. The Race of the Santas only stretches for 7 blocks down Breckenridge’s Main Street and is designed for all ages. You can sprint, walk, skip, or run the race...even do cart wheels! A great way to have fun for a cause. The extra incentive of running at an elevation of 10,000 feet involves cookies and milk!!
Registration is only $15 and open to locals and visitors alike. Don’t fret if you don’t have your own Santa suit stuffed in your closet, you can get a costume (including registration) for $45. Then, you can keep the suit for next year’s event. If kids want to participate in the race, they get in for free with antlers and bells.
