2020 has been a heck of a year and we are excited about the upcoming holiday season more than ever! We will be kicking off the holiday season with a "reverse" parade on Friday, November 27th.

Stroll through the streets of Downtown Tempe and take in the sites of the lights and parade units as they stand still! Santa will be waving from atop of a float and will have a mailbox to the North Pole out for you and the kiddos to leave your holiday wishes. Don't forget to stop by the Christmas tree in its usual spot at Centerpoint Plaza west of Mill Avenue on 7th Street.

Make Downtown Tempe your Home for the Holidays!

Get Here

From 6 PM - 8 PM make your way down Mill Avenue, 7th Street, Maple Ave., and 5th Street. A Map of the event layout will be provided at a later date. To get to the parade on time, know where to park and explore public transit options.
