Winterhaven Festival of Lights

The Winterhaven Festival of Lights will be lighting up Tucson again this year from December 13th through the 27th. As the longest-running holiday tradition in the city and the largest free holiday light festival in the Southwest, it showcases over 200 homes adorned with artistic displays, handcrafted décor, and dazzling light and water installations. And for more than 75 years, the festival has united the community in celebration, service, and joy… and this season promises even more magic.

While the festival is free to attend, attendees are encouraged to bring a donation of non-perishable food or money for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. Make a donation today!

In 2024, Winterhaven visitors donated 34,134 pounds of food and $33,774 to the Community Food Bank during the Festival! With 1 in 7 Arizonans including 1 in 5 children facing food insecurity, this year’s need is even higher.

Most needed items:

• Peanut butter
• Oatmeal
• Cereal
• Granola bars
• Canned tomato products
• Canned tuna & chicken
