Get ready to jingle through Apache Junction, as the city gears up for its annual Holiday Program & Light Parade. Families and revelers are invited to congregate at Flatiron Community Park on December 7 for a day filled with festive activities and an evening speckled with lights from the time-honored parade.
According to the City of Apache Junction, the event will feature a meet and greet with Santa, a stroll down Candy Cane Lane, and inflatable attractions meant to be a hit amongst attendees of all ages. Local entertainment offerings will serenade visitors throughout the day, and as dusk falls, a Tree Lighting Ceremony slated for 6:30 PM promises to cast a glow over the convivial proceedings.
But the real star of the show is the 27 Annual Holiday Light Parade, which kicks off promptly at 7:00 PM. The Apache Trail will transform into a river of light, from Phelps Drive to Thunderbird Drive, with sparkling floats designed to spread holiday cheer. Entries for floats are currently being sought from individuals, businesses, non-profits, and groups, and the deadline for registration whispers a sense of urgency: November 28.
Local businesses and non-profits in Apache Junction have a chance to showcase their offerings, with registration open until December 4. Entrepreneurs and civic leaders, this is your opportunity to connect with the community and make a lasting impact on someone's holiday.
The event touts free admission for families, making it an accessible celebration for everyone in the community. From 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM, Flatiron Community Park is the place to be for holiday entertainment, and when the clock strikes 7:00 PM, all eyes will be on the parade. So bundle up, grab a hot cocoa, and prepare to immerse yourself in the holiday spirit. For further details on the event, folks can visit the Apache Junction Holiday Event webpage.
