Free outdoor holiday season at Cherry Creek North with more than a million lights, the Cherry Creek Holiday Market at Fillmore Plaza and live music.
A Holiday Less Ordinary kicks off in Cherry Creek North on Thursday, November 19, turning 16 blocks of the district into a holiday destination with more than a million lights. It's a collection of free outdoor events that runs through November and December, so you can drop in whenever you're in the neighborhood.
The center of it is the seventh annual Cherry Creek Holiday Market at Fillmore Plaza, between 1st and 2nd Avenues on Fillmore Street. It runs from November 19 through December 24, with dozens of local makers, designers and creators showing one-of-a-kind pieces while live music plays in the background. Around the market, the district adds Windows Less Ordinary in the storefronts, a Holiday Cherry Hunt, and Festive Sips at local businesses.
At the market entrance at 2nd Avenue and Fillmore Street, you'll find the Giving Machines. They look like vending machines, but instead of a snack, each selection is a charitable gift to a local organization paid by card. They run around the clock well past the market's closing, so you can still give during the quiet stretch after Christmas. The machines stay up from November 19 through January 4.

One specific date to keep in mind is Saturday Night Lights on Saturday, December 12, from 5 to 8 PM at Civica Plaza, 250 Fillmore St. The whole thing is free, and the district itself is home to over 175 small businesses, 75 boutiques, 50 restaurants and bars, and five boutique hotels, so there's plenty to do around the events.
