There’s one thing that stands out about Breckenridge. It’s a town. A real town. With real locals and real characters—from ski bums to history buffs, and from skier moms to tech entrepreneurs. But we all have one thing in common … we love Breck. As the largest historic district in Colorado, Breck’s past is full of stories, legends and characters. What started as a gold-rush base camp in the 1850s is now a bustling town that mixes western hospitality with Victorian architecture. It is now a modern-day hot spot for summer and winter adventures. In the heart of downtown, Breckenridge has created the Arts District, a one-acre campus of studios, galleries, public art, performance spaces and creative businesses all housed in renovated historic structures. Through Breckenridge Creative Arts—also known as Breck Create—you can take painting classes, pottery workshops, see unique performances and participate in cultural events.
