Denver will soon welcome the fifth annual Mile High Tree Installation, and it might be just what we need to brighten the holiday season!

"The aptly named 'The Mile High Tree Presented by Xfinity,' a seven-story 110-foot-tall immersive art, 39-foot diameter conical structure, is 10 feet higher than the tallest Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in history and contains 60,000 LED lights to create its signature programming," writes the event page.

The 110-foot-tall, seven-story installation measures 39 feet in diameter and features around 60,000 LED lights that will surely be seen from across the metro area. In its debut year, the tree was located in Sculpture Park. This year, the tree will be located at Civic Center Park, starting November 17 and running through December 31.

The tree will be open every night from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Enjoy light shows synced to music, which will surely boost your holiday spirit.
