Tianyu Lights Festival returns to Camelback Ranch-Glendale

Posted

The Tianyu Lights Festival returns to the West Valley this fall with more than 60 groups of handcrafted lantern displays featuring more than 1,000 illuminated pieces.

This exhibit opens Oct. 24 and is on display through Jan. 4, 2026 at Camelback Ranch-Glendale, 10710 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix.

It will be available Wednesday through Sunday nights from 6-10 p.m.

Tickets are available for purchase. Ticket prices start at $25 for children and adults ages 12 and up and $18 for children ages 3-11. Entrance is free for ages 2 and under.

The entrance to the parking lot is on Camelback Road.

Created with a centuries-old lantern-making technique reimagined with steel, fabric and LED lights, the installations will transform Camelback Ranch-Glendale into a glowing spectacle stretching more than one mile.

A team of 25 artisans will spend three weeks assembling the exhibit, which will be delivered by more than 25 semi-trucks.


Guests can stroll through the lantern displays, enjoy international cuisine at the food court and shop for handmade items in the marketplace. This year’s event highlights will include a 200-foot dragon floating on the ballpark pond and oversized themed displays such as: "Bugs Aglow," "Color of Holidays," "Rainforest" and "Prehistoric Animals."

Parking is $10 per car when purchased online in advance ad $15 per car when purchased on site with a credit or debit card. Cash is not accepted.
