Glendale is celebrating 30 years of tradition with Glendale Glitters illuminating downtown Glendale from Nov. 24  through Jan. 1.

The tree lighting ceremony at 5:45 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 24 at the Glendale Civic Center will kick off the glow of bright lights throughout the historic downtown district.

The two-night extravaganza on Nov. 24 and 25 brings many cuisine offerings, local arts and craft vendors, visits by Santa Claus and carolers spreading cheer throughout downtown Glendale.

Larger-than-life light installations will be on display to enjoy and capture holiday memories with family and friends.

“I’m thrilled Glendale Glitters is approaching and the community can enjoy how it transforms our city into a magical wonderland, bringing joy and warmth to all who attend,” stated Glendale City Councilmember Jamie Aldama in a press release. “This event captures the spirit of the holidays and radiates positivity and goodwill.”

Aldama has represented the Ocotillo District, which includes the downtown core, since 2014.

“Glendale has created long-standing holiday traditions for the entire community and we’re thrilled to continue making fond memories this year,” stated Glendale Mayor Jerry P. Weiers in a press release. “Glendale is a special place all year round, but it is particularly inviting during the season of goodwill.”
