Light up the Holiday Season in Gorgeous Southern Arizona
The holidays are made merry and bright by family, friends, and exuberant decorations. No matter what holiday you celebrate, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. While you deck your halls, many places around town are decorating their gardens with magnificent lights.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around town. Is there anything more enchanting than twinkling lights in a garden? Add some sparkle to your holiday season with a stroll around one of these beautiful, festive Tucson institutions. You won’t get a White Christmas in Tucson but while you might miss a winter wonderland, the desert makes up for it with temperate weather and plenty of opportunities to spend festive time with family outdoors.

Reid Park Zoo Lights: This holly jolly annual event is truly fun for all ages. With light shows, a visit from Santa, and snow in the Arctic Zone, this festival is sure to be a blast.
