Glendale Glitters Celebrates 20 Years!

Glendale’s award-winning holiday lighting event has become a family tradition across the Valley and state, and this year will mark the city’s 20th year of this joyous holiday celebration.

The stunning display of 1.5 million lights will illuminate 16 blocks of Historic Downtown Glendale, making it the largest free holiday light display in Arizona, and it all kicks off Nov. 29 and 30 from 5-10 p.m. each evening.

Free admission and free shuttles make Glendale Glitters one of the best-loved festivals for Arizona families year after year. In fact, the event was named azcentral.com’s Critics’ Choice for the Best Kid Event in the state in 2012.

Visitors of all ages will delight in holiday entertainment, delectable food, hand-crafted holiday gifts, a children’s winter wonderland and petting zoo, shopping and, of course, visits with Jolly Ol’ St. Nick. The always-entertaining stage show will feature a tribute to special moments and guests from the past 20 years, as it counts down to the lighting ceremony on Friday evening, Nov. 29, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
