The Mile High City's newest attraction is set to illuminate Denver's nighttime sky beginning at the end of November. Located near the famous œdancers at Sculpture Park adjacent to the Performing Arts Complex, it is aptly named the Mile High Tree. This 110 foot work of art will tower radiantly over The Dancers which stand at just 60 feet tall.

The Mile High Tree is more than just a dazzling display of color, it's a mesmerizing experience that you won't want to miss. A light show set to music will replay every thirty minutes for your viewing pleasure from inside the tree or from afar. Did we mention that this holiday treat for your eyes is totally free?!

CREATIVE GENIUS

In the Mile High City, we tend to go big. The Mile High Tree will be the largest of its kind in North America. Using pixel-mapping technology and a whole lot of playful creativity, Brut Deluxe of Spain designed this delightful holiday light experience and Ilmex Illumination, also of Spain, handled the production and installation of the 12 stories and 60,000 strands of LED lights. Make sure you check out this beautiful one-of-a-kind display before it's gone!
