Photos of Castle Rock Starlighting Fireworks Celebration and Pikes Peak
Photos of Castle Rock Starlighting Fireworks and Pikes Peak: These Photographs of the annual Castle Rock Starlighting Celebration were taken in November of 2020. In the image captured before the fireworks, you can see Castle Rock with colorful skies and dramatic clouds above. The Castle Rock Starlighting has been a popular community event dating back to 1936. In the spirit of volunteerism and generosity the Starlighting tradition is celebrated downtown on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. We try to photograph the star lighting each year and this year we took a different approach, and sought a more unique aerial perspective of the event. This year’s event was help on November 21, 2020 and each year is attended by people from all across Douglas County and the Colorado Front Range.
