Glendale Glitters

Glendale Glitters is another light show that is famous in the Valley. Every weekend through January 7th, Glendale Glitters will be featuring live music, carriage rides, and of course, Christmas lights.

Rent skates or bring your own to CitySkate at CityScape Phoenix, right in the center of downtown Phoenix AZ. It is a huge hit every year and not because of the cookies and hot chocolate.
