Thousands of people each year visit downtown Glendale for the monumentally magical Glendale Glitters, where an enchanted ‘forest’ is illuminated with 1.6 million lights over a 16-block area. Holiday entertainment, snow, hand-crafted holiday merchandise and more create the ultimate holiday adventure for kids of all ages, even grown-up ones. Several weeks of Arizona’s largest free holiday light display kicks off Thanksgiving weekend, and runs through mid-January. There is a reason that generations of families have made this event their holiday tradition, year after year!
