Rev up your sleighs, deck the halls and break out the cookie cutters. Now that Halloween is in our rearview mirrors, we’re jumping head first into the holiday season (no offense, Thanksgiving). At All Terrain, we take the holidays pretty seriously, especially when it comes to outdoor lighting displays. To kick off the most wonderful time of the year, we’re sharing with you some spectacular holiday lighting displays and events around northern Colorado that you won’t want to miss.
Downtown Holiday Lights
Where: Downtown Fort Collins
When: Nov. 3, 2017 – February 2018

When: Dec. 1, 2017 – Jan. 7, 2018, 5-9 p.m.
