Glendale Glitters to Illuminate 16 Blocks of Historic Downtown Glendale

Glendale’s award-winning holiday lighting event has become a family tradition across the Valley and Arizona.

The stunning display of 1.5 million lights will illuminate sixteen blocks of Historic Downtown Glendale, making it the largest free holiday light display in Arizona.

Free admission makes this award-winning festival, now in its 23rd year, one of the best-loved events 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 snow field and petting zoo, shopping and, of course, visits with Jolly Ol’ St. Nick.

This year, the event’s theme is ‘a few of my favorite holiday things,’ and following an entertaining stage show, the Warners helped the Mayor and City Council flip the switch on 1.5 million lights throughout downtown Glendale.

The glittering magic of Glendale’s holiday display remains lit nightly through Jan. 9, from 5-11 p.m.  evening. Historic Downtown Glendale is located at 58th and Glendale avenues.
