As we watch the Covid numbers spiking again, it is even more difficult to find a December event to keep you in the holiday spirit. Here are some of my personal favorites.
Here are a few items that you might enjoy, in addition to Phoestivus on line, of course.
Japanese Friendship Garden – Illumination Garden Lights. The already-beautiful Japanese Friendship Garden is lit up every Tuesday through Sunday from 6:30 to 9pm for $15 per person. It’s one of the December events that people often skip, but should not. I enjoy this one, particularly, because it is walking distance from a few nice restaurants. So, you can make the whole dine and walk experience.
Los Noches de las Luminarias – Phoenix Botanical Garden. I go to this December event almost every year and I particularly like to take people from out of town. It’s a two-fer. You get to see the amazing light displays and also learn about the unique desert plants that you can only find here. Add a three-fer by getting there at sunset. Dec. 11-13, 17 – 23, 26 – 31. Be sure to look at their website for more information about their Covid adaptations. In some cases they won’t have live music as they have in the past, but they will still have most of the things you enjoy.
Zoolights – Phoenix Zoo. You can either walk or drive through the zoo lights experience this year. The still have food treats, as they have in the past. So, you won’t be left out in the zoo alone with no sustenance. You have a little more time on this one, if you need to prioritize. This is daily 5:30 to 10:30 through January 31st.
Holiday Lights – Salt River Fields. This is a 1.2 mile drive-through with over 5 million lights and music. You can tune in to their music through your car radio, too.
We have some more ideas for you on the little graphic below.
Enjoy your December and your holidays. It is a particularly important year to stay close while staying distanced.
And, please always remember that we appreciate your referrals and will make a contribution to your favorite charity when your referral closes escrow.
