tree built from tumbleweedsattraction

Chandler's signature holiday landmark is a Christmas tree built entirely from tumbleweeds, lit nightly at sunset in downtown. It's one of Arizona's quirkiest and most photographed holiday traditions.

Best time to arrive. Sunset in Chandler is around 5:22 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:49 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 35°F, so dress for standing around outside.
