(Larkspur, Colo.) Guests can enjoy a holiday light display on a drive or stroll through downtown Larkspur.

The Larkspur Area Chamber of Commerce transformed Spruce Mountain Road and the Larkspur Community Park into a holiday light celebration. The lights are set up on over 50 festive trees which come to life at sundown.

Each decorated tree is sponsored by local businesses and groups. Guests are invited to follow the map to view the trees and the business who sponsored them.

The holiday light display will stay set up into the New Year to extend the celebration.

Guests can also view more decked-out displays across Douglas County, including the Christmas pirate ship house in Lone Tree and these four festive homes.
