In its sixth year, the Holiday Lantern Walk is a joyful celebration of light and a favorite family tradition. Enjoy festive alpine entertainment and hot chocolate, as we gather in Slifer Square before the walk. This holiday tradition is a short jolly procession led by Santa and Ralph the world’s tallest elf through Vail Village. Winding its way to the Gore Creek Promenade the walk culminates at the grand opening of the 12th Annual Vail Winterfest Ice Theater. Complimentary LED lights & other festive treats distributed before walk.
