Hello Everyone,

We are writing to share an update regarding the St. Vrain Christmas Walk. As many of you know, we took a hiatus in 2025 due to logistical challenges, including key committee members moving, difficulty securing 501(c)(3) non-profit status, and rising event costs.

After nine wonderful years, we have made the difficult decision to permanently end the official St. Vrain Christmas Walk activities. While neighbors along the path are still welcome to decorate their yards on their own, there will no longer be organized event activities.

What began as a small group of neighbors wanting to bring holiday cheer to local walkers grew beyond our wildest dreams—drawing visitors from across the country who made our event part of their annual traditions. We are deeply proud that it remained a free, community-centered event for so long, made possible by generous neighbors who baked cookies, set up ornament decorating stations and opened their yards to host Santa, choirs, dancers, and hot chocolate.

While several community members have kindly offered to help with lighting, setups, and fundraising, the private yards that served as our event hubs are no longer available.

We are incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Together, we made unforgettable memories—from choir performances and visits from Santa (and the Grinch!) to a surprise marriage proposal. Thank you for allowing the St. Vrain Christmas Walk to be part of your holiday traditions.

With appreciation to all of you for your support,

The St. Vrain Christmas Walk Committee

UPDATE: Jeanne Torres, from the St. Vrain Ranch community has stepped up to continue with path decorations. She is looking for additional volunteers and can be reached at 303-875-4652.

An announcement for 2025.

Hello from the St. Vrain Christmas Walk Committee!

2025 would be the 10th year for the St. Vrain Christmas Walk. The event has steadily
gained momentum throughout the years; and 2024 saw the most homes decorated and thousands of people in attendance. Thanks to all for your participation.

The Christmas Walk is a volunteer effort set up by a half dozen families who build the tunnels, decorate the pathway, host Santa, serve refreshments, and coordinate the dancers, choral groups, etc. This is coupled with the cooperation of most of the residents along the walking path in St. Vrain Ranch decorating their backyards. This event is not funded by the HOA or any other organization.

Unfortunately, we have encountered many challenges and the event is not sustainable as it is. We lost key members due to their moving from the area, plus changes in participating residences over the year. The trimmings and signage are worn and the squirrels have wreaked havoc on the lighting, chewing the light strings as quickly as we can hang them. The event has gotten large enough that the costs of maintaining insurance, obtaining permits, and paying for things such as street closures, hot chocolate, c***r and supplies is much more than a few sponsors and out of pocket donations can sustain.

As a result, we are calling a hiatus for the Christmas Walk for 2025 to replenish ourselves, our volunteer organization and the supplies and finances required to carry on. We encourage the residents to continue to trim their back yards as we expect that many will still walk the pathway.

As we regroup, if you would like to join the committee, volunteer for next years’ Christmas Walk or would like to donate money, supplies, etc, please contact us at [email protected]. Also please follow our page at: www.facebook.com/stvrainchristmaswalk.

Thank you to the homeowners and sponsors for being part of this event. We truly appreciate all the support this community gives during this wonderful Season.
