B Like Breckenridge
Community
Breckenridge embodies an infectious joy-of-life attitude that removes boundaries to what we can accomplish together. Because in any great endeavor, we are always more successful with friends by our side.
So we invite you to B Like Breckenridge, which can mean a lot of different things depending on where you live, work and play. But at its core, it’s about embracing the spirit of our town. Believing the right thing to do is always worth doing. From using less, walking more, leaving no trace, sticking to the trails, respecting wildlife, nature, and each other, and being a responsible steward of our communities, together we can champion a cause that is greater than all of us. But that starts here, with each and every one of us.
Everyone is Invited
There’s a reason we’re all drawn to Breckenridge. It’s the unique combination of our historic, mountain town charm, the breathtaking nature that surrounds us in all directions, and the character of the people who call it home—for a weekend, or a lifetime. Now, more than ever, we all share in the responsibility of making Breckenridge the most welcoming place to live and visit.
Responsible Travel
Preserving the character of our town and the nature that surrounds us has always been at the heart of the Breckenridge spirit, our people, and our brand. To a large part, our collective desire to protect this special ecosystem is what draws people here in the first place—both to live, and to visit. As the topics of climate change, over-tourism, and sustainability continue to shift the global narrative, we have an opportunity to position our town as a thought-leader in sustainable practices by celebrating our local commitment to environmental stewardship and rallying our guests to participate alongside us.
Social Equity Advisory Commission
In 2020, Breckenridge Town Council unanimously passed a resolution creating a Social Equity Advisory Commission. The commission will bring together a group of people from varied backgrounds to work with town council to identify opportunities for change and inclusion.
