Trees of Life

The beloved holiday tradition features warm beverages and treats, inspirational remarks, music, the solemn reading of names of lost loved ones, and the spectacular lighting of trees for the season. The lights represent the memory of those who have touched our lives and are no longer with us.

Hundreds of candles on the museum’s south plaza will set the mood, and Soli deo Gloria Choir will perform songs such as “Seasons of Love” from the musical “Rent” and “Save You a Seat” by pop sensation Alex Warren.

Military members and first responders will be remembered by the illumination of the gazebo outside the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum in red, white and blue lights in their honor. The trees will remain lit throughout the holiday season.

Patrons wishing to submit the name of a loved one to be read or to purchase a commemorative ornament may do so from 4:30 to 5 PM. Commemorative ornaments may be purchased through the season at https://pikespeakhospice.org/trees-of-life.
