It’s Christmas time in Mesa! Time to pull those Christmas lights out from the basement, stare at the giant tangled mess they have become, get frustrated to the point of defeat, and end up buying a new strand from the grocery store that covers all of one tree in your yard. It’s a holiday tradition like no other. And speaking of traditions, the Phoenix area has no shortage of holiday events to satisfy your inner Saint Nick. From spectacular lights displays to holiday festivals, the Phoenix area is truly alive with the Christmas spirit. Here are a few events going on around town that will make your holiday in Mesa unforgettable.
1. Get into a spectacularly jolly mood at Downtown Mesa’s Merry Main Street Event. This winter event is packed with activities so fun they’ll turn any Grinch into the merriest of Santa’s helpers. Main attractions include a nearly four-story-tall Christmas tree, a 5,000-square-foot outdoor ice skating rink, food truck plaza, and more. Not to mention Santa himself will be there on Fridays and Saturdays working on his naughty and nice lists. Bring the whole family for a night of wintery fun.
2. Check out the amazing lights at the annual Mesa Temple Garden Christmas Lights display. This fantastic display of lights is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with the entire family. Thousands of visitors flock to the temple each year to revel in the wonder of the incredibly illuminated decorations. Admission is free and every Saturday night features an outdoor concert.
3. If you’re willing to travel a little way to Glendale, the Glendale Glitters Christmas Festival is a must-see event. Every year, Downtown Glendale comes alive with millions of lights—literally. Last year’s display included about 1.5 million LED lights adorned around the town.
