What backs it

Denver's Cherry Creek Holiday Market achieved a verified waste-diversion rate of more than 70% in 2025, eliminated single-use plastics by using only compostable cups and tableware, and operates on battery-powered energy across its five-week footprint. The market is projected to welcome more than 80,000 visitors this year while supporting nearly 50 Colorado vendors.

Worth noting

The market is seasonal (November 19 through December 24, 2026); outcomes reflect a specific event model and may not apply universally to other holiday or large public events.
