Nothing says the holidays like a parade! Kick off your holiday season right and join us in #DowntownTempe for the 25th Annual Fantasy of Lights Opening Night Parade presented by Wells Fargo on Friday, November 29th, 2019.
Enjoy live entertainment, get a head start on your holiday shopping by sifting through hundreds of handcrafted goods at the Holiday Market and be dazzled as the streets of Downtown Tempe light up with festive décor. The event will start with live entertainment at Centerpoint Plaza at 4pm, and the parade will step-off at Mill Avenue and 3rd Street at 6pm with our Parade Grand Marshal, Sarah Sellers.
But the festivities don't stop there... stick around after the parade for our Tree Lighting Ceremony, take a selfie with Santa Claus and meet our Grand Marshal.
Make Downtown Tempe your Home for the Holidays!
