In 1948, a Christmas tradition was started of opening the canyon at night free to the people of Colorado Springs and allowing a charity to collect funds.
During this period, a life-sized Santa Claus, sleigh and reindeer appears atop the Seven Falls Curio Shop and Christmas lights are placed throughout the canyon.
As Seven Falls’ annual Christmas gift to the region, this display has converted a multitude of Colorado Springs natives into winter sightseers.
