Last Saturday, we kicked off the holiday season in the brightest and merriest way possible! ✨🎄

Downtown came alive with twinkling lights, holiday music, & community joy as we celebrated together at the 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 + 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

It was our biggest and brightest turnout yet — 35,000 of you lined Mill Avenue to cheer on 57 dazzling parade floats, wave to neighbors, and welcome the season together. Here are just some photos of the night!

To every community group, performer, school, and small business that poured your creativity and spirit into this year’s parade — thank you for making the night feel truly magical.

And to our incredible sponsors, we are so grateful for you. Your support helps this Tempe tradition shine year after year.
