Arizona Lights in the Night shine bright this holiday season

Over 1 million lights in annual drive-through holiday light show

In a celebration of everything merry and bright, the Arizona Lights in the Night drive-through holiday light show welcomes Valley families to experience the magic of over 1 million lights synchronized to holiday music.

The twinkling experience takes place at the Thompson Event Center in Mesa, located at 1901 N. Alma School Road near both the Loops 101 and 202.

“Arizona Lights in the Nights is the Valley’s premier drive-through light show that’s perfect for families and friends looking for a fun way to celebrate the holiday season,” said Allen Thompson, operations manager of Arizona Lights in the Night. “We look forward to welcoming everyone to this memorable holiday experience.” 

Tickets begin at $39.95 per vehicle and can be purchased at arizonalightsinthenight.com or at the gate. As families and friends travel through the light show, they’re greeted by over 1 million lights glittering on candy canes, snowmen, presents and more, all synchronized to festive holiday tunes.

New this year is the VIP Train Ride, where each train car is equipped with three bench seats and can hold up to six adults, 10 children, or a combination of riders. Families can hop on this trackless train, which provides a one-of-a-kind ride through the light show. VIP Train Rides can be pre-purchased at arizonalightsinthenight.com for $150 to $250, depending on the reserved night.

Arizona Lights in the Night opens nightly beginning at 6 p.m. through Jan. 5, 2023. Sundays through Thursdays the lights shine bright from 6 to 8 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays guests can see them from 6 to 9 p.m. For more information, visit arizonalightsinthenight.com.
