Events

  1. Las Noches de las Luminarias

    Date : -

    Even though December in the Valley doesn't feel too wintery, one annual tradition lets everyone know that the holiday season is nearing: Las Noches de las Luminarias at Desert Botanical Garden. Following the Hispanic Christmas tradition, more than 8,000 brown paper bags containing lighted candles line the garden's paths, creating a peaceful and romantic glow amid the saguaros and other desert flora. Eleven bands of all genres, such as Dickens carolers, Mariachi Pasión and Big Nick and the Gila Monsters, perform throughout the garden each night. Those 21 and older can sip on hot spiked holiday drinks, and food is available for purchase.
