Festival of Lights Family Fun Day

Families are invited to experience the joy of the season at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum’s annual FREE holiday celebration! Before heading to the downtown parade, join us for our Festival of Lights Family Fun Day from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Enjoy musical performances, creative crafts, face painting, and a host of family-friendly activities.
