We will have something for everyone from 3 p.m.-6:30 p.m.: 30 tons of snow, Santa, bounce houses and inflatables, an obstacle course, vendor/non-profit booths, and food trucks. We’ll also have live music on the entertainment stage.
Tree-lighting ceremony: Apache Junction Mayor Jeff Serdy kicks off the holiday season with the tree-lighting ceremony at 6:30 p.m. at the Focal Point, northeast corner of Old West Highway and Phelps.
The 23rd Annual Holiday Light Parade: Individuals, businesses, non-profit agencies and groups are welcome to enter their floats. Registration is required to participate.
