Leadville's Victorian Days Weekend is just around the corner. This year's festivities will be held Dec. 5-7.
Experience the sights, sounds and tastes of an old-fashioned holiday during Leadville’s Victorian Days Weekend. Featuring a parade of lights, carolers, refreshments, a visit from Santa, Victorian Home Tour, a catered Victorian-style dinner and parlor casino games, this year’s event will run from Friday, Dec. 5 through Sunday, Dec. 7.
“Leadville’s Victorian architecture, rich heritage and culture, with more than 40 blocks of the downtown area designated as a National Historic District, always allow our visitors to take a step back in time,” explained Heather Scanlon, Director, Leadville/Lake County Chamber of Commerce. “But each year during Victorian Days, we really pull out all the stops. It’s a real treat for anyone who wants to experience a holiday weekend in the late 1800s.”
Victorian Days Weekend is being sponsored by The Leadville Chronicle. Call the Leadville Lake County Area Chamber of Commerce at 888-532-3845 or 719-486-3900 for reservations, details about the events, or lodging information.
Leadville features a charming selection of specialty shops, restaurants, galleries, and coffee shops. Lodging options range from an elegant Victorian hotel, inns and B&Bs, to lodges, cabins, and vacation rentals. Many offer special packages for this weekend, as well as throughout the winter months.
Leadville and nearby Twin Lakes are affordable, authentic mountain-town destinations, with incredible winter recreation activities, including downhill, cross-country and back-country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice fishing and dog sledding. At an elevation of 10,152 feet, Leadville is the highest incorporated city in North America, located in the geographic center of Colorado, 103 miles west of Denver and 129 miles northwest of Colorado Springs. All of the highways in Lake County have been designated as the Top of the Rockies Scenic and Historic Byway, making it one of the most scenic journeys in the state.
