Catch the Last Nights of Las Noches de Las Luminarias

There’s no better place for a night strolling through a cool Phoenix winter than breathing in the crisp desert air at Las Noches de Las Luminarias. Post-sunset the Desert Botanical Gardens glows with eight-thousand hand-lit luminaria bags lining the paths along with thousands of white twinkle lights.

You’ll find an assortment of entertainment ensembles throughout the paths and the auditorium as you can sip some hot cocoa or your choice of alcohol and relish the romantic ambience of this annual desert tradition.

If you haven’t been to Las Noches this year, the event starts at 5:30 p.m. and ends at 9:30 p.m. and will be concluding its 2016 season with its last two nights of the year this Friday and Saturday the 30th and 31st.
