Massive 110-foot-tall ‘tree’ featuring 60,000 LED lights to make 2024 debut in Denver
Roughly the height of an eight-story building and located in Denver’s Civic Center Park, the massive ‘Mile High Tree’ is a 110-foot-tall immersive light installation that’s sure to inspire holiday cheer.
Set to be open to the public from November 22 to December 31, the installation resembles a giant Christmas Tree, glowing in bright colors and large enough for people to step inside. Once inside, visitors can look up to view a swirl of lights. Not only does the tree have a 39-foot diameter, it’s also reportedly 10 feet taller than the tallest Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in history.
The tree was created by ILMEX Illumination and contains 60,000 LED lights, utilizing pixel-mapping lighting technology to put on a mesmerizing show.
After a 5:15 p.m. lighting ceremony on November 22, the tree is set to be open to the public every night from 5 PM to 10 PM. During these nights, there are free-to-attend light shows that start every 15 minutes. There’s also set to be a special ‘ball drop-style countdown’ at 9 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.
It’s worth noting that there are a few exceptions when it comes to the light shows this year, with the tree set to be static blue during nightly light shows at the Denver City and County Building at 5:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. It will also be static blue until 5:30 p.m. on November 27 and dark until 7 p.m. on December 7.
Paid-parking can be found at street meters and in several small surface parking lots in the area of the exhibit.
The presenting sponsor of the Mile High Tree this year is Xcel Energy & Xfinity.
