Hello Downtown Friends,
Downtown is shining bright with Desert Nights Downtown Lights, sponsored by the City of Tucson, Pima County, Rio Nuevo and Tucson Electric Power. With their support, we've wrapped 105 trees in warm white LEDs that beautifully complement the illuminated skyline, along with a giant 36-foot Christmas Tree lighting up in Jácome Plaza on Monday.
