As the Desert Botanical Garden celebrates
its 34th year of Las Noches de las Luminarias, we invite you to join us
for one of the Valley’s longest and most
unique holiday events. Each night of
Luminaria, the Garden comes to life
with the soft glow from more than 8,000
hand-lit luminaria bags. As you walk
the paths with a warm cup of cider, the
sounds of handbells ringing and Dickens
Carolers singing remind you of what the
season is all about. Make plans with
family and friends to attend this year’s
Las Noches de las Luminarias.
New this year – explore the Garden’s
newest exhibition. David Rogers’ Big Bugs sculptures will be on display
throughout the Garden nightly. These 11
enormous, whimsical bugs are sure to
create quite a buzz
this holiday season.
