Ring in the new year Breckenridge-style with glow worm and torchlight parades, a spectacular fireworks display and extended Free Ride transit service on New Year’s Eve – Saturday, Dec. 31, 2016.
The evening’s line-up includes:
Glow Worm Parade:
Kids ages 5-13 are invited to join the Glow Worm Parade, in which they’ll ski down green terrain in a long formation with glow sticks, giving off the appearance of a glow worm. Registration begins at 5 p.m. at the Beaver Run Ski and Snowboard School on Peak 9, and the parade will begin at 5:45 p.m. Participants must be able to stop and turn on green terrain.
Torchlight Parade:
At 6 p.m., enjoy a Breckenridge tradition as the Breckenridge Ski Resort Ski and Snowboard School kicks-off the evening with a dazzling luminary procession, parading from the top of Peak 9. The best views of this parade are from anywhere you can see Peak 9.
Fireworks:
At 9 p.m. catch the brilliant fireworks display. With clear skies, these fireworks can be seen from most locations in downtown Breckenridge.
Free, Extended Transit Service:
The Town of Breckenridge is offering special late night service on the Breckenridge Free Ride Transit System. All scheduled routes will operate as normal until 2:15 a.m. with the last routes of the night leaving Breckenridge Station at 1:45 a.m. The goal is to provide a safe way for guests to enjoy a Breckenridge New Year’s Eve celebration by not drinking and driving and taking the Free Ride.
This sparkling New Year's Eve is presented by the Town of Breckenridge and the Breckenridge Ski Resort, and supported by the Breckenridge Tourism Office and Garden States Fireworks. All events are weather permitting.
