Celebrate the holidays Tucson-style at the 25th Annual Parade of Lights & Festival, a colorful, multicultural display of lights, music and creativity sure to get you in the holiday spirit.
“The 25th Annual Parade of Lights & Festival is one of the many things that make this community shine,” said Megan Everett, Director of Marketing for Mister Car Wash, the event’s title sponsor. “It’s our way of celebrating the rich culture and traditions of the city that we’re proud to call home.”
Festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m. in Jácome Plaza with multicultural entertainment including Chinese folklore singers, Asian theme lanterns and a dancing mystic dragon from the Chinese Cultural Center. This will be followed by a returning Tucson favorite, Mariachi Los Amigos.
At 5:30, Mayor Johnathan Rothschild and Mister Car Wash will light the giant community tree during the Tree Lighting Ceremony on the Main Stage in Jácome Plaza. Native American Dancing from the Aztec dance group, Calpulli Tonantzin will get the crowd energized and ready for the arrival of the parade!
