A not-to-be-missed event!

Catch that true Golden Glow and walk off that big Thanksgiving meal at this year’s Candlelight Walk in charming and historic Old Town Golden, Friday evening November 30. Kick off the 2018 holiday season with thousands of joyful others on a walk down Golden’s main street, Washington Avenue, lit only by candles.

If you haven’t gone before, you’re in for a real treat. Folks gather at 6 p.m. outside the Foothills Art Center, 809 15th Street, and start walking at 6:30 p.m. to the Visitors Center at 1010 Washington Avenue for a holiday show and short fireworks display above the roof of the historic Golden Hotel.

This annual event has something for the whole family. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand for kids’ photos from 3-5:30 p.m. at The Dove Inn, 711 14th Street. After that take the kiddos in hand and walk over to the Golden Library at 1019 10th Street for cookies, cider and children’s crafts from 5:30-8 p.m.

And for the grown-ups, the Golden History Museum at 923 10th Street and the Clear Creek History Park at 1020 11th Street will host events after the walk from 7-9 p.m. Warm up at the wood stove in the Historic Pearce Cabin and enjoy roasted chestnuts, music, singing and dancing in the historic hay barn at the outdoor history park.

Stargazers should remain at the Visitors Center for “Winter Celestial Sights” at 7 p.m. Led by Jeffco Open Space naturalist Mike Dempsey, the event offers the chance to gaze through a powerful telescope and learn a bit about the winter heavens above.
