What: The Tucson tradition of the Parade of Lights
Beginning at 11 am, on the west end of Congress, Mercado San Agustín will host a pleasingly old-fashioned holiday bazaar styled in the European tradition of Christmas markets. Book-ending Congress Street festivities on the east end is the Hotel Congress plaza, which will have pre-parade revelry and include an eccentric, Ho-Co-styled informal tree-lighting. Hot toddies and other refreshments also will be available.
Kids can get their fill of exhibits and healthy snacks at the Children’s Museum, open until 7 pm. Many Downtown shops, including Celtic Corner, will decorate windows, plan specials and stay open during the parade. Beowulf will see windows dripping in holiday lights and an historical display of theatrical lights, costumes and an old makeup warmer.
Armory Park, where the parade ends, will be the site for pre- and post-parade music and warming refreshments including the smooth sounds of a Keli Carpenter.
When: Saturday, December 18th and is set to begin at 6:30pm
Where: Downtown the route starts and ends at Armory Park
