Breckenridge is one of the best places to be in the Colorado Rockies on New Year’s Eve. The town is bustling with activity, there are perfect opportunities to make new friends and the dining and nightlife are something not to miss. We’re known for being laid-back and friendly, and that holds true on one of the country’s biggest holidays. Whether you want to ooh and ahh over fireworks, dance, have a romantic dinner or kiss that special someone at midnight, you’ve come to the right place.
Event Highlights:
Summit County officials and residents take wildfires very seriously; fireworks of any kind are prohibited within town limits and will not be a part of the New Year’s Eve Celebration.
Grab your Viking hats and celebrate all things winter at the 59th annual Ullr Fest, December 7-8, 2024.

Show your devotion at the Main Street parade and become part of history at the longest Shotski® “unofficial” World Record breaking attempt. If you’re in for a legendary party, this is one you won’t want to miss!
Breckenridge’s International Snow Sculpture Championships presented by Toyota is a world-renowned snow sculpting competition where teams from around the world descend on Breckenridge, Colorado to hand-carve 25-ton blocks of snow into enormous, intricate works of art. Artists are only allowed to use hand tools, creativity and inspiration to bring their ideas to life. No power tools allowed! Teams sculpt countless hours across five days (totaling around 94 hours), resulting in a temporary outdoor art gallery in historic downtown Breckenridge!
