Arizona is glowing with holiday cheer this holiday season as Arizona Lights in the Night returns to the Valley. The annual drive-thru light show promises a dazzling spectacle, with over a million twinkling lights synchronized to festive music.
The one-mile course at the Thompson Event Center is set to captivate visitors with a heartwarming display that offers something for everyone, whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or simply enjoying the festive spirit.
Arizona Lights in the Night aims to unite families and communities. The event has been carefully designed to celebrate various holidays, making it a unique tradition for attendees of all ages and backgrounds.
“This event is designed to bring families and communities together, no matter their background,” Operations Manager Allen Thompson said. “We’re excited to offer an inclusive and festive experience for all who attend.”
The drive-thru display will be available on select nights until December 28. Tickets start at $26.95 per vehicle. Hours are 6 to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 6 to 10 p.m. on weekends. The process of creating this breathtaking light display is no small feat.
“From the initial concept to the final glowing display takes approximately 8-10 months,” Thompson explained. “This includes the design phase, sourcing materials, and the intensive four-week installation period. It’s a labor of love that involves countless hours of careful planning, design, and execution.”
This year, Arizona Lights in the Night will continue its tradition of giving back to the community. A portion of the proceeds will benefit children’s charities in Arizona. Guests will also have the opportunity to make an additional donation at the end of their visit or when purchasing tickets online.
The event also offers festive merchandise for those looking to take home a piece of the magic. Collectible items include a glowing LED holiday bear, light-up necklaces, and headbands that add sparkle to the experience.
Additionally, to provide peace of mind for guests whose plans might change, the event offers ticket assurance, which can be purchased online. This allows visitors to quickly adjust their tickets if needed, ensuring they don’t miss out on the holiday fun. For more information, visit arizonalightsinthenight.com.
