There is never a shortage of family-friendly events in Steamboat Springs in November. This is the month when the holiday season starts coming to life and the town begins transitioning to a winter wonderland.
Not to mention, one of the most exciting events of the year (we think!) takes place in November – Steamboat Resort Opening Day!
This is the time to start planning your vacation to Steamboat Springs and getting ready to enjoy another spectacular year creating memories in the divine Champagne SnowⓇ.
Festival of Trees
Visit the 30th Annual Festival of Trees at the Tread of Pioneers Museum this November.
Marvel at the beautifully decorated holiday trees creatively decorated by local businesses, organizations, and individuals. This year the museum will have over 25 trees all adorned with twinkling lights and glittering ornaments.
Wander through the magical forest as you cast a vote for your favorite tree and search for the hidden golden keys in each display.
This event is free to all local residents and is the regular admission price for guests. This is the primary fundraiser for the museum and the proceeds all go toward exhibit preservation and educational programs.
