This holiday season, the Denver skyline will come alive with the Mile High Drone Show. For 40 magical nights, 400 drones will soar into the sky, creating holiday-themed animations. You’ll be able to witness these dazzling displays every night at 7 p.m. for free.

The Mile High Drone Show isn’t just a typical light display—it’s a state-of-the-art performance featuring a dozen or more festive animations that span nearly 400 feet high and 500 feet wide. From Santa and his reindeer to iconic Denver landmarks like the Mile High Tree and Denver Union Station, each night will bring a new visual experience to life.

The drones will launch just west of downtown. Here are some top spots to watch the 15-minute spectacles:

Sculpture Park at the Denver Performing Arts Complex

54thirty Rooftop at the Le Méridien Denver Downtown

Peaks Lounge at Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center

Tivoli Quad on Auraria Campus
