Lighting of Breck & Race of the Santas | All Steps from Kenosha

🎄 Lighting of Breckenridge Weekend at Kenosha
Holiday Dog Parade • Race of the Santas • Children’s Moose March • Downtown Lighting Celebration
Kick off the holiday season in downtown Breckenridge as Main Street transforms into a festive playground of dogs, Santas, kids, and twinkling lights. The first weekend of December brings several holiday favorites. First, you’ll see costumed pups in the Holiday Dog Parade. Then, kids take over downtown during the Children’s Moose March. Next, hundreds of red-suited runners charge through town in the Race of the Santas.
As the sun sets, the celebration gets even brighter. After that, the community gathers for the countdown as 11.2 miles and more than 250,000 lights illuminate Breckenridge. The moment turns Main Street into a glowing winter wonderland. It’s one of the most iconic sights of the season. Best of all, it all happens steps from Kenosha — your home base for food, drinks, and good cheer.
