What Does a Truly Sustainable Holiday Market Look Like?
Reported byHappy Eco News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
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.
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.
