Valentine’s Day in Steamboat takes on a new glow. Light Up the Night transforms the Mountain Village into a prism of winter light with a hot air balloon glow, sweeping fireworks, and a torchlight parade that ushers in an evening of alpine spectacle.
Stroll among magnificent tethered balloons lit against the snow or enjoy the show from a cozy slope-side spot with dinner and drinks at Timber & Torch. As night deepens, the celebration crescendos with a fireworks display and torchlit procession — a moment of color, warmth, and shared wonder that feels quintessentially Steamboat.
This free, family-friendly event captures winter’s magic in motion — luminous, communal, and unforgettable. Night skiing resumes with a delayed start at 6:30 PM for those who want to keep the evening going under the lights.
